Sheri,
Very nice catch! I have seen thousands of shovelers, but I have never seen one on which the bill looks so large. Everything looks perfect. What great colors in the water.

Hi Sheri,

These are tough to get at my local duck pond, always seem a little too far away. You've captured a very nice image of this gal.

Bird, water, bill, sharpness, color exposure, it's all top notch,

Way to go!

What a nose! And it looks even bigger in the reflection! :shock: Nothing wrong that I can see with your "making due".
