I thought this shot from last year fit this week's motif pretty well. :) All comments are welcome. Thanks for looking!

Great texture in the snow! White tail is just a little cooked but not a big deal. The flakes in the air are a nice touch. Now I just wish that the ice on the lakes would be accompanied by some of the flaky stuff up here...

Good duck, good snow, good BG, a tad more room below. Wonderful shot, Laura.

Well detailed and exposed. Could possibly use just a tad more room BRC.

Great shot! You captured the duck beautifully and kept detail in the snow. The blue speculum showing really adds to the image. Nice work!

Brrr - looks cold. Very nice shot. Perhaps just a tiny bit contrasty.

Beautiful image. The textured snow, nice light, blue speculum and the falling snow are all big pluses in this image.

I think this is great, Laura. The exposure and composition are just right, and I love the clean, deep blue background. Great job.
