Absolute stunning bird. I agree with MikWar about the water swirls being terrific background.

As close as I could get, maybe 20 feet. Thanks for your compliment.

Wonderful shot. I've never seen one before. He's a real beauty and the water movement and reflection add a lot of additional interest to the photo.
Thank you Vicki for your lovely comment.

I'd never heard of a Poachard before so I googled it. Lots of pics, none of them even close to your quality. A must see in the download. Super how you captured the tiny water drops clinging to him after a dive. (I did find out they are a diving duck.) Also the swirling lights in the water compliment and set him off.
Thank you for sharing this. Did you use any kind of photo blind? You had to be fairly close to get the detail you achieved.

Glad you liked the image Greg. I didn't use a blind but was quite still for about 20 mins to get this image.

After looking it up, no wonder I never came across them before. They are normally only found in southern Europe and Central Asia.
Great shot! From the angle seen, were you in a raised blind?

Glad you liked the image GENorkus, and no I didn't use a blind.
