Green-winged Teal

A lesson in how we perceive colours. The male's head is usually green but in this light it
looks blue to our eye and the camera. "Colour perception is related to an object's light
absorption, reflection, emission spectra, and interference." So says Wickipedia.

Effectivement, pas toujours évident d'avoir les vraies couleurs de l'oiseau selon la lumière présente, une superbe photo de ce beau mâle!

Agree with you! Playing with the light is always touchy ! Great capture anyhow :))

It does look blue, but still a great shot. Interesting information, too.
