I know this is a very common duck but still one of my favorites. Got him at the end of the dividing road at Bosque. Very close to a full frame.

Very happy to have been able to track and shoot since I was over half frozen !!!! :shock: 8)

Comments welcome and much appreciated

Very sharp, excellent saturation and exposure, nice catch light and pose also, my only minor nit is that appears passed your shadow line, maybe the previous frame? Nice seen you at Bosque.
