One of the best Shoveler images I have seen in a long time, wether that be on here or anywhere else for that matter. The large version is a must see, pin sharp with superb details, excellent work Alan.

Agree with Andy Shepherd. Stunningly good shot!

Alan that it one hell of a fine image! The large version has tons of detail, is pin sharp and you have managed to keep the whites from blowing and the BG is very complimentary. When I see this type of flight shot I just marvel at it cos my flight shots are cr*p. If that was mine I would be beside myself with joy!!
