Nice shot showing this pair on the water. They are interesting to look at with the unique features - the piercing yellow eyes and the blue bills(probably a result of spending so much time in cold weather.) I like the way the light reflecting on the water frames them. I think over all the shot id a bit bright and could be pulled down just slightly. Well seen and well shot.

Such a lovely image so peaceful and calm. A magical moment on the water. Beautifully framed. Great color and detail. The rippling water shows very lovely in the photo. It was very nice to see these two friends traveling around together and all of their splendid detail and amazing colors .

Comment from Lucas Sizov
These birds look so alike by their form, size, shape, but, their colors are very different. I love the reflections in the water, by that, it looks like there is a forest in the background, with the sky peeking through to get in the photo. Great job!!!

I like the yellow eyes on these ducks. Their feather colors are pretty. I like that the only image of the shore and the sky is from the wavy reflections in the water. The light waves create nice movement in this scene.

I rarely see scaups on my lake but they are more common in northern Michigan. A very nice looking pair with their distinctive bills clearly shown. Nicely composed with great colors.
