red breasted merganser (view larger)

nice capture

Beautiful again. I would like to see a bit of more room in front of the bird. But the action is so nice ... Regards, Jean-Marc

Monte this is an amazing image. I looked at it larger and was so impressed with the clarity and fine detail. He/she was moving very fast and this is a perfect stop action shot. The clear water droplets just hang mid-air, frozen. The light in the eye is wonderful. The composition is great. I like the reflection and the ripples in the water. Excellent work! Best wishes, Linda

Love the amazing motion with magical exposure, crisp sharpness & subtle colors as usual, Monte, nice piece of the bird!         Congr. 7!

Just fabulous! I have those birds here but I've never seen them quite that way! Incredibly sharp shot for such motion!!!
