Northern Shoveler drake

From Cape May last week, shortly after sunrise. Not yet in full adult breeding plumage.

D7000, 700mm, ISO 1250, 1/640s @ f/6.3 manual.

Beautiful beautiful light. The early bird ( photogragher) always get the worm (special image).
Nice low POV and IQ.
I am not crazy about the 3 eyes in the reflection. It draws my eye down. Not a deal breaker though!!

Lovely light, POV and IQ. Send them to Florida I am waiting for them to arrive. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent image Bill. I like the sharpness, low angle, light and composition.

That's the light you want to shot in! Very nice. The details and techs look great. This guy has a ways to go before he becomes a colorful adult drake. Well done Bill.

Nice to get ducks in all their plumages. Nicely done, Bill. Beautiful colors.

Thank you all.
