    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Some nice captures Swartzy. thumb.gif I would have liked to see a bit more space around a few of these (too tight of crop). That first flight shot is nice.clap.gif

    I'm amazed at the detail... especially in the ice droplets on his back! Great shots!

    Heh, yea Mike....I did in fact have many that there was plenty of room in the frame but was after some super close ups...I didn't have to crop because the silly ducks were so close the the 400mm wouldn't even focus rolleyes1.gifI had to wait until they got a bit further away. I did crop the feathers & ice shot a little to show the detail though. Thanks for the comments.....there was only the one Shoveler in the group of mallards....and we had to drive to a special place to get him. Crazy for Minnesota...come Spring they'll be everywhere! Thanks for the comments!
