Northern Shoveler

[bill kominsky]

This was the first and the last one we ever saw in this area, the naturalist said it was probably lost or blown off course I myself don't really know, but do know it was an honor to see and to photograph.
Canon MK-11-N ISO=200 at f/7.1 1/400th of a sec. and 100-400-L at 330-MM.

All comments welcome and appreciated.

I just wish for a lower angle, but other than that and some hot whites, I like it very much! Congratulations!

Good sharpness on this one, Bill.

Considering it's rare for your location , it's a fine shot. Good detail and comp. The high angle is what hurts it.

If I remember I think I could have had a lower angle but thought it would have detracted from the beautiful detail in the back feathers, sorry.
