This Red-Necked duck was paddling around in a choppy stretch of water in Lake Ontario recently. It was a dull cloudy day, and the wind was picking up as it was about to rain, so the water got pretty 'wavy.'

Thanks for looking. I hope you like it! :)

Nice shot Jeff. Instead of a sinking Ship we have a Sinking Duck.
Good looking bird.

Very nice high key shot. For some reason this duck doesn't look very buoyant!

Excellent shot of this guy. I like the low-rider swimming posture. :)

Lovely Redhead Jeff. They don't usually go that low in the water, it must have been quite choppy. You got the eye really well.

I really like the way the red head jumps out against the grey water. Very nice.
