American Wigeon - Phoenix, Arizona
D7100, 80-400mm @ 360mm, ISO 400, f/6.3, 1/400s

This was shot at water level just after the sun hit the pond for the first time in the morning with an NSN Skimmer and the 4th Gen Mongoose (my preferred combo for shooting at low levels with the 80-400mm lens) during the just concluded NSN Arizona DuckShop that I led.  Image is uncropped.

Love the low angle, the subtle light and the warm background. I am going to have to start getting down in the water for my waterfowl images.
