This is a shot from Toffino. I've posted it before but it is one of my favorites. I rarely take great photos.

That's a great shot, Juan. The tones in the sky & the water are phenomenal. I wish I had been into photography when I visited Toffino, beautiful place.

It's funny Durka. That shot just happened. Here is one in roughly the same spot but about twenty minutes earlier"

simplicity and elegance ... one of the phrases I learned at design school

I photographed this mallard the same day ...



and I think the one with the black head might be the Common Goldeneye

You're probably right. It's just that the colour was a little faded in the earlier picture, and that made it difficult for me to know for sure. Looking back at it again, you would think that I would think Goldeneye as the eyes are quite pronounced in the picture.

I would like to compliment you on your photography. They are lovely pictures!:)
