Re: Blue-winged Teal
Vey nice capture. Preening allows you to see the blue which gives it its name. It's usually not visible at rest.

Re: Blue-winged Teal
A really nice capture indeed! We had our first couple of blue winged teals in our pond last weekend. I had to google it to find out what it was and I was able to get the camera and capture a few shot with both the male and female in the frames but not near as pretty as what you've accomplished here! I like the light in your and the low angle make it very interesting! Nice job!

Re: Blue-winged Teal
I love it! The reeds around it, accent the duck very nicely. With the preening showing the hint of blue is a very nice added bonus!

Re: Blue-winged Teal
Looks OK but in an ideal perfect world, that bit of reed behind its head wouldn't be there. Not a big problem but it is slightly distracting. The white spot seems slightly over exposed and lacking in detail; but that is virtually impossible to avoid in bright light.

Re: Blue-winged Teal
I think you did this beautiful duck justice indeed, Sherwood. Good shot! Do you have to crawl in the grass to be able to capture this one low? Just curious...
