Very nice detail and an interesting pose. Shovelers are certainly an interesting duck. I think I'd like to see the crop a bit looser to show off the rest of the ripples in the water.

A very good look at the bill of this species and an interesting behavioral shot Scott. Comp wise I would move the bird just a bit farther right in the frame.

Love the feather detail and the straight up tail feathers. Unusual pose. Really nice.

A lovely preening shot, Scott, taken at one of my favorite birding spots. Not much doubt about that field mark.
