I photographed this female Eider on Cape Cod on one of those mornings when the forecast predicts sun and after a few minutes clouds roll in. I had to crank up the ISO more than usual. Please click on image for a larger version.

Great species to have. The choppy water at the bottom and the OOF. water in the background makes it special.
Detail is outstanding despite the high ISO.

Wonderful image, with a fine setting with the water patterns and colours, captured here, Axel.

Great capture of this Common Eider, I see so many great details in all those feathers.
