Cool shots. Love the colors on the duck. Almost looks like he's got some kind of chinese armor on...

That first one is just amazing! It really looks like he is ready for a show down! Very different from the kind of ducks in my area. We have just the plain ol everyday kind. And none of them want to stare ya down either! Great pics! Love em.

Who is this? I never failed to be amazed the variety of ducks there are in the world. His coloring is amazing. Are you sure he was starring? He could have been posing. BTW When I say a bigger audience, I don't mean DPS. I was thinking National Geographic or, at the very least, your local newspaper again. Think: w-i-d-e.

thanks everyone, this is a King Eider a most sought after mounting duck by hunters because of his bright colors.
