I have never seen a merganser out of the water like this, I love her special hairdo! She's beautiful , she's got the long merganser bill, you have photographed her well with good camera techs, she is nicely placed in the frame, I love her reflection too! Well composed and presented!

    Thank you! I like how different the male and females are from one another.

    I can only imagine how the differences might have looked with my beloved Dinosaurs! : )

You captured the bird excellently. The light emphasizes those gorgeous feathers on its head perfectly. The photo is well focused, sharp through. I admire the beauty of the natural colors. The reflections are intriguing. Bird and driftwood are well placed right of center, so the bird has space to look into. The composition is balanced and the photo is well framed.

a very interesting bird with his Feather crown; I like his position on a floating piece of dead wood, apparently not concerned aboit his position;
good framing with sharp focus;
