Puffing up their necks is part of their courting routilne.

Hey Monte,

 

Now that's a great shot of a hoodie. The angle is awesome. This guy is ready for a little lovin'. His neck is all puffed up, hood fully stood up. Just point him in the direction of the ladies!

Really nice behavioral shot, excellent detail and color, whites on the chest look a bit washed out.

Now that's what I call a "good-hair day", he must have used a lot of hair gel. Good shot as always, with high on detail and sharpness.

Precioso retrato. Saludos

An awesome Capture of my favorite duck!

 

It's so cute! Best regards.

Nice shot Monte. I would try to place him coming into rather than out of the frame. The chest could use a little knock down. Good DOF and AF. Good frame.

Now I understand where the military copied the idea for theirs busby, ciao Giangiorgio

Another excellent and beautiful shot, Monte!

 

Happy New Year!

As one who has been photographing Hooded Mergansers on an inlet outside my house (east coast) for years, this shot is far and away the best I've ever seen!! So crisp! So beautiful!
