Beautiful Shoveler Drake

Another Northern Shoveler from my favorite lake. It is getting warmer here in Texas. I have noticed fewer and fewer waterfowl at the lake. A sure sign of Spring. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop and Lightzone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Exceptionally well done. The light is terrific especially on the water. Excellent detail, wing position, and color.

The colors are wonderful, Jerry, but on the old beater laptop I'm using right now, the whites look pretty hot. Could just be my screen.

Wow! Jerry, this one is fantastic. Love the beautiful colors in this shoveler. Especially in the wings. great DOF to get all of the duck in focus. Nice one.
