Shoveler

[Jason G. Harrison]

Took this image at one of my favorite wetland areas. Wanted a different pose and I liked this one with the eye contact. Taken with a D300, 600VR, 1.4tc, f/8, ISO 400, 1/1000th ss



Hope you enjoy.

Very nice pose. Water around the subject is not doing must justification to this image IMO. I would go for a tighter crop to give more attention to subject pose. Here is a sample. Hope you dont mind.

I like the preening pose, water patterns and Sid's crop idea looks pretty good to me. I would tone down the whites a bit more.

I love the preening pose, sharpness, and colors. I would crop somewhere in between the OP and the repost. I do wish for a lower angle.
