    This N. Shoveler image can't compare to that beauty posted a few frames below, but sharing it because it made me smile. Hope you do too.

    This is so fun Grace!
    I love the pose and the IQ is awesome.
    I really like seeing the hairlike protrusions from the mouth.
    Great POV as well.
    I like the ying and yang feel of the back and front foot,
    Gail

    Grace,

    What a capture! Those feet and open beak definitely take the image to the next level. I can see why this would make anyone smile - a very fun image indeed!

    Photographically very well done, but the smile factor is better :)

    Beautiful shot! Nice details! Indeed a funny pose...it's almost like a swimmer doing front stroke while opening it's mouth for inhalation.

    Fun indeed Grace and love the color and detail where you can see the comb-like structure on the edge of the bill which is used like a sieve to skim crustaceans and plankton from the water's surface.
