A couple of images to show how their head and neck feathers show different colors depending on the lighting.

I like the little details you captured in each; the first with the droplets falling from the beak, the feet below the surface and shared by the reflected image on the second, the colors are striking in both!

Your photos are really great and very sharp with great colors. Keep them coming.

Good demonstration of the color changes due to lighting. See the same type of effects in hummingbird images at times. Both of these images are well focused and show great detail and colors. Thanks for posting these interesting shots.

You certainly know how to make that duck show his stuff!
Great images, and fascinating with the colors.
