Young Male Shoveler.
D500, 700mm (500pf w/ 1.4), f8, 1/1000, iso2200.
PP in Capture, PS.
I love the low angle, Dan and the pose is great. The dark water and background are interesting and I like the effect. On my screen, the Shoveler looks a bit bright.
What? not a BIF? 
Great low angle shot. I like the low key effect and the blue in the water. Good head and eye detail and pose. Neat shot; well done.
I do like the approach, and the dark works very well as does the low angle (of course 
) . Only thing is that the light is a little harsh to my taste. Other than that a fine image ! Cheers, Hans
Hi Dan
It is a great shot, the eye contact, detail and color are very good. I think the brightness of the head is due to a light kick of the water and very small wet feather.

I like the idea of this image with the low point of view. I do agree that the light is a little harsh for my taste. But perhaps in better lighting conditions you wouldn’t be able to expose as well and you would miss the dark water/light bird effect.
