Great capture - he really does look like he is ice skating - great clarity and colours too!

Ha! That so reminds me of the pelican shot I posted a couple of days ago. They are so cute when you catch them doing this. Very nice capture and great detail in those feathers. Like the reflection, too.

@girlie Robin, it does remind me of your pelican shot! I took several photos of this duck and this was my husband's favorite. Thank you for the nice comments.

@kdei @kerristephens Thank you!
@ellen Thank you for the comment and for the word for what he is doing. The closest I could come up with was piroutte, but arabesque is the better description.
