Dahlia Relief
It's not that I don't enjoy viewing all the beautiful Dahlia postings from recent weeks, but I thought just maybe, some might be ready for a little variety. Actually, I think I'm a little jealous that I can't get out right now to the Dahlia Fields as I broke my arm and hauling the slr and lenses isn't possible for awhile.
So I present you with a posting, a favorite from my collection... the beautiful Northern Shoveler hen.
Hope you enjoy, now get back to those fantastic floral shots!

Canon 20D, canon 600mm F/5.6 1/1000 ISO 200

Your critiques are welcome, :wavey:

Would you look at that schnoz! Heh-heh, one of my favorite ducks, too, Chris. Very nice shot.
Sorry about your arm. Hope it mends well for you.

So many photos focus on the males, it's nice to see a great female shot!
