Shoveler Flight

At my favorite duck lake, this Northern Shoveler flew by very low. I like the feather detail. The late afternoon light was warm and beautiful. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop and Lightzone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Great flight shot of the Shoveler Jerry. Nice detail throughout. You had great light too.

One of the best Shoveler in flight shots I have seen. Very nice.

One of my favorite waterfowl species as well. Perfect angle of light to show off the head color and beak detail. Well done.

Superb detail and light on this Shoveler. One of the clearest duck in flight images I have seen on NPN. Impressive!
