I found a group of males and females in a relatively close distance. The sun was behind clouds and it started raining shortly after this image was taken.

Great details and eye contact, Karl. Maybe you'll get lucky and they stay there for a while.

Wonderful soft light, great details. I like the colour of the water being close to the colour of the duck.

A fine image, Karl, with the water colour complementing those of the Gadwall, so well.( I know you have your Nikon system, but certainly excellent results from your Canon one, as well).

So peaceful and lovely, Karl. Really like this one. Beautiful colors and textures in the Gadwall.
