Very nice photo and reflection. The pattern on the sand and sun's reflection are wonderful too. I don't think I've seen this type of bird before. He does look a bit familiar though. Are his legs really as short as they look or did one sink in the sand?
Difficult to say if the "duck" is on the ice, the snow or the water. It does not seem to matter, neither do we: only remains the beauty of the light, and the peace of the scene...
Wow, wow... Det er fantastisk!Og langt den beste av alle bilder jeg har sett idag!
Flott lys fra sola i vannet. Ser ut som fuglen fryser.
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
I would love to see golden ice someday.
Such a sweet pose the bird and her reflection have.
Ice makes more sense that sand. I was thinking it was very shiny.
"I get envious just looking at this - if it is take recently"
They were taken just last month when I visited my home state. :)
Gorgeous reflection of light!
Cute little bird pose. :)
This is such a beauty! Golden light on the ice would be enough, but, the bird, too...wow! How great it is to be in the right place at the right time to capture something this splendid!
Beautiful and amazing reflections!
"Weekend Reflections"
Its a gorgeous reflection photo, it reminds me of the beautiful movie 'On Golden Pond'. Well done!
What a beautiful reflection! Looks like you may have had some sunshine lately!
Your picture is quite breathtaking, it is a tapestry of lovely colors and textures. The duck and his reflection is perfect.
Sunny :)
This is one of the most beautiful reflections I have ever seen. Great.
Oh wow, beautiful
Nok eit blinkskot frå di hand!
Top class shot, my friend.
Et fint og morsomt foto
OMG I just love this photo. It's just magnificent my friend :)
Så utrolig flott dette var! Nydelige refleksjoner og tekstur, og fuglen var prikken over i-en.
RuneE this is *great*!! I have never seen this creature before to the best of my knowledge. Love the golden colors of the waves too.
How lovely, he is sleeping. Gorgeous golden reflection, very beautiful shot.
Å du og du så vakkert dette var! Masse liv og røre, noe jeg trengte etter en aldri så lang bloggtørke her!! Ha en god helg! :)
Vackert och så lite festigt för anden står ju där och putsar sej i spegeln :)
Lekkert! Nydelig refleksjon ... fargene er av de sjeldne!
It all looks so warm.
You've outdone yourself again. Have a wonderful weekend.
This is wonderful!
It's looks like a singer to bow after end singing.
Brilliant!
God helg, min venn.
stunning! Was this done with a telephoto lens?
Dette var vakkert!
Fjærpuss må til uansett årstid, kjempefine speilinger i vannet. Sånn sett skal man vel være glad man ikke må i elven for å barbere seg hver morgen :)
I love your still water reflections! But this one is special!
Fantastisk! Bildet er vakkert! Veldig flott lys og fine farger. Nydelig speileffekt!
How fascinating! Love the golden reflections and the ripples!
Isn't she shy?
The golden patterns in the water reminds me of a huge leaf pattern.
The light is wonderful. You've done it again! Great image.
Wow, I'm blown away! The colors, the subject, it's all GREAT!
P.S. Good suggestion of f8 or f11 aperture. I'm going to try another series of shots with aperture priority.
Just beautiful! The light is wonderful, and what a great subject. You really do gorgeous work. Kathy
Yowza!!!!! I have no words...
That golden light is just glorious!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Let me add my congratulations to those above. How do you get the blacks so black? So may of your photos achieve a wonderful range from pure black to pure white. I'm envious.
Kjempestilig Rune!! og ser ut som gull jo :-0
Anda har jeg heller aldri sett før, kun i fuglebok faktisk, ja, åsså her hos deg nå da :-)
He's reflecting on his own reflection!
Wow! What a fantastic picture as is the one above, the monochrome one!
A golden post!
Stakkars,den ser ut dom den har det kaldt,men den steller seg vel bare.Nydelig skinn i vannet,vakkert:-)
I hope the poor bird's legs are not frozen. On first glance, I thought it was a tiny penguin.
The gold is so dramatic.
Fantastsik fint!
Nydelig!
Lyset, kontrastene og fargene...
Fikk medfølelse med den lille anda der... Den ser litt forkommen ut...
Such a wonderful illusion and beautiful colours.
Thanks for sharing and have a great week.
Smiles
Great shot, I love the reflection of the light on the water. We were of the same mind with the ducks, well mine were geese, this weekend. He looks like he doesn't want to get his feet wet.
