I spent some time in a cattail marsh this morning and got a few images of this shoveler and some avocets.
Canon 40d / 500f4 + 1.4x / 5.6 @ 1/1600 / iso 500 / cropped for rotation
Very fine image Trey !!!! I like the head angle and great eye contact very much Nice low angle and exposure Can only wish for a bit more room Duck seems a little tight in frame !!!! btw if its fine with you would clone the bright spot on the bill !!!
