Found this Northern Shoveler image going through images from Vierra from last year.

Really overcast day forced me to shoot at ISO 1000.

5d w/Sigma 50-500
1/800
f.5.6
ISO 1000
Shot from car window

I really like the head on look. The whites look a little hot and the image also needs a CW rotation before your Shoveler slides off the screen! :D

Yes to all of Jody's suggestions. Plus, with images of birds coming right at you (in horizontal format), and, with the nice wake, it would have been a nice option here to break the "rules" and place the bird in the dead center.

Neat capture of the shoveller Michael and I like the head on angle. The CW rotation would strengthen this image and I find there is a lot of empty space to the right. IMO a vertical crop with less space on the right.

thanks for the suggestion. when I get home to the raw file i'll try to crop it as such.

Agree with previous Nice capture Mike !!!!!

Good advise given, Mike. Knowing that it was created in Viera, I will not suggest a lower angle. Not possible ;)
