craig Thank you! Traditionally Eiderdown quilts were filled with the breast feathers of the female Eider duck (this shot is a male). Thankfully synthetic filler is now more common.
bvphotosnap They have an unique feather pattern! It looks very regal, great shot!
craig Thanks! They do indeed look regal, the salmon pink tinge to the breast is quite noticeable here!
bvphotosnap Oh wow! I thought that it was a reflected pink from something! That's awesome! ☺
