The last time I shot at Barrow I had very few opportunities with the specie but this time I had numerous. It seemed as though they were in nearly every small pond. Fortunate for me!
This image shows some of the iridescence of the neck and wing coverts.

Please click image for uncompressed view, thanks.

A handsome image, Bob. Love the iridescence, the low perspective, and the reflection.

Excellent detail and exposure control. I like the low angle. Laying on snow?
