Hi all

Here are a few shots of Barrow's Goldeneyes taken in the Lake Myvatn erea. It's one of my favorite spots for photographing birds and I try to go there once a year if I possibly can. I spent several days there and enjoyed every minute. Please feel free to comment. :-)

Simply stunning images, Sindri. The Goldeneyes, both common and Barrows, are beautiful ducks and you've captures these beautifully. The mating antics of these guys is always fun to watch. Great job.

Exceptional images Sindri. It's hard to pick a favorite but I like the bokeh in #2 and #3.
