Just an ole duck doing what it takes to get the girlees. These guys are long gone, they don't stick around here in the summer. These were taken in June.

ant

I am yet to see a cinnamon teal but here you are posting the captures of one of the most beautiful ducks. I am jealous.
Tim, Excellent set. #2 and 3 are my favorites. Great colors and feather details.
Harsha

Excellent series, Tim. #3 is my favorite. What a great-looking duck!

Chris

Tim, these are really pleasing images of a beautiful subject. Colors and detail are very good. I like the pose in the first shot and the feel of the last one.
Socrate

Hey Mr Tim
#1, ya I could do that too about 40 years ago that is one wild pose there my friend
#2 I like this shot, although a bit too centered for me
#3 was that a viagra bath no comment
#4 just beautiful, that one green feather is something I did not notice before, sure are pretty ones, I'll bet you are already looking forward to their return

Karl

all nice but the last has elegance!

Beautiful low angle shots, Tim. Always dug the color of these quackers and you captured that color nicely!

Ken

#3 and #4 are great shots Tim. I just love that Cinnamon Teal... #3 has such a great feel at the down low angle that you took it at... very nice.

Terry

Great captures of one of my favorite ducks.

Last two are my favorites Tim. Nice captures.

Jude

What a contortionist this guy is.

Nice series with # 1 & 2 as my favs...

Lil

ya what Lil said, he can really twist around, I normally don't agree with Ant, but #2 is my fav also. Great job.

You big Liar!! You follow me around like a lost puppy dog

Super shots Tim,it's always best to get this water-level perspective but not always do-able unless you wanna be in muck up to your ankles. I've always had issues getting the details on CTs; these are really good!

Best Wishes,
Steve

Hey TIm,
Lovely shots of this beautiful and colorful bird. I like them all. Can't chose a fav.
Thanks for posting. I have not seen one before.

Thank you Socrate, I'm glad you like the last one, I posted that just for the feel, kind of dreamy.

Thanks Karl. How would you crop a shot like 2? I understand not wanting it centered but how else would you crop it and why? Inquiring minds.....

Thanks for the kind words Steve. This time I was lucky, I was able to lay down on nice dry dirt for these shots. The diffused light from the cloud cover helped tremendously.

Thanks Martin, I had not seen one until this year myself.



Tim

You got some real beauties Tim, great dolors and detail. I like 2 and 4 best in this set, nice job.

Doug

Hey Tim, I would think that taller, vert would work if you had the space above and the BG did not interfere or if you could soften or blend it. Just my thoughts....as you inquired

Karl

What pretty ducks 4 is lovely

Jenna

Very nice series.
