Mandarin Duck (Aix galericulata)

In a strange way, I like this one. In a late evening, I went out and shot these birds. See what you think!

  21. The grey on grey tonal emerging of this glorious creature--notice the rose of his beak, the irrediscence of green in his wing--the arch of his neck--utter perfection!

    It takes a master to let us see these details, and that's you.
