I like the water on this one and, of course, the lovely shoveler drake. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop and Lightzone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Nice low perspective with the colors showing well on the shoveler.  Good detail as well.

Wonderful shot of a beautiful bird. Rarely do I see them in other than a group (usually 4) in their feeding circle with heads in the water as they swim. Great pose and shot.

Another beauty, Jerry.  The reflected highlights from the water on the bird really work well in this one.
