Caught this handsome drake shoveler with a nice green BG at a local pond a few weeks ago. Hope you like it.

1DX---840mm---f6.3---ss1/4000---ISO800---HH@7:40am---30% crop

Thanks as always for looking and for your input.  I appreciate it.

Terrific capture David, the sun angle is perfect for those beautiful green head feathers, and the BG is a great canvas for this NS. Perfect exposure, the colors on the Drake look rich and natural, and the detail is really clean... love the wing position and composition. Excellent work!

Super nice. No nits here.

Wonderful full wing extension, lighting and exposure... those greens, esp. in the head can be difficult to capture and even more so without blowing out the whites.
