The closest ever to a male COME. It swam into the narrow of the pond. I was able to go down to the water lever. It swam by
without showing any distress. Full frame plus added some canvas to the front.

Nice swimming shot Karl! These birds are tough to get close to down here in Ohio too.

Well done, Karl. This guy was moving right along judging by the bow wake.

Nice low angle and a nice head turn..
I think it could go a bit lighter...

Lovely detail and a fine image. DX didn't seem to do any harm! Maybe it's worth using to save real estate on the computer?

Nice close range shot Karl! I like the low angle.
