This cutie got up on a last bit of ice in the pond, and was slipping all over. She just shook herself after coming out of the water. She finally slid back in, presumably with great relief. :)

Cindy, excellent shake-off action of the Merganser. The little water droplets are everywhere — wonderful. Excellent timing to capture this event.

This put a smile on my face this morning. Love the water drops; the little fuzz head’s way of stying her hair.

Lovely shot Cynthia!
The water is fantastic and it compliments the colors of the bird. I like the droplets and the exposure seems good.

What a cute shot. I would love to see the sliding action. I am sure it was fun to watch.

Thanks Ludo, and all. I wish I had gotten the sliding part, but sad to say, I didn't. :?

the blend of colors in the water makes this female stand out in this image, the added splashing water from her is a plus, well done CYNTHIA.

Such a sweet view of this lovely girl out in the cold, Cindy. The complementary colours add a beautiful finishing touch.
