Red-knobbed Coot (yes not technically a Duck) that just surfaced. Won't win any awards as it's not crisp enough and has little chance of competing with the FS scapes but I've been a bit short on material this month.

Last entry for the 2011 FSM. (Free Study Marathon)

I was one of your 7's. Loved the beading of the water and the sharpness in the eye. I enjoyed your shot. Thank you for entering it.

that is one weird looking bird - i like!

the background being only partially blurred out due to DOF gives the image an almost cluttered feel
