    Wo another absolutely superb DIF shot, the wing position and lighting couldn't be better I love the sheen on the bill. The brightest whites are not blown but I wonder if you could tease a little detail from them if you lowered the luminosity.

    Hard to beat a drake Shoveler with wings down, scapulars lit, and in nice light. Fantastic frame Tim!!

    I like the details, sharpness, wing position and light. Composition wise I see it lower in the frame with a bit more room up top but that is personal preference.
    A real beauty Tim!

    Tim, what a good looking flight shot you have. Love how you landed "all" of the greens, I would also prefer it lower in the frame, splendid.

    Love the color and the full downstroke of the wings. I might move the bird a bit lower in the frame.

    OK, I'll differ with the consensus. I like the framing just as you have it. The extra sky at the bottom creates a strong sense of flight to me. But of course, that's personal preference. The colors, wing position and detail are all great - and what really tops it off is the spot on large black beak.
