Single Red-breasted Merganser

A single red-breasted merganser, its shaggy double-pointed crest male, narrow red-orange bill male, and fine grey vermiculations on male flanks captured from a three-quarter rear view shot, is softly defined within a low contrast composition of soft subtle tones by neutral color temperature, three-quarter lighting, and gentle fill light, set against jagged snow-capped peaks against a clear blue sky in an expansive landscapes or cityscapes artistic style.
