Hi all

Here are a few more shots from Lake Myvatn. As I have mentioned before I had a great time there and I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them. Please feel free to comment (C&C).

The shot of the two longtail ducks with crests up is just fantastic. Wow, I'd kill for just one shot as good as that. :)

What can I say. The quality and variety of your captures are stunning as usual. The Grebes blow me away. Thanks for sharing.
