    Hi Sid, absolutely nailed. Great flying posture, tack sharp, and I do like the detail and colours on the shoveller. Killer BG too. Well captured.

    Great wing position and BG. I really like the light on the far wing and the detail seen because of the nice light.Tack sharp. No one else has mentioned this but I wonder if you could extract a bit more detail in the belly feathers. It almost looks like there has been NR applied to that area.

    No NR applied. I sharpened this one very lightly. I noticed after posting that I should've sharpened the bird a bit more. I'll give that belly another look tonight. Thanks for the feedback!
