Hi Annick,

Een zeer fraaie opname,scherp en mooie lage POV,las dat je binnenkort naat Kruger gaat,be benieuwd naar je opname van daar met je nieuwe uitrusting,ik denk dat het je wel zal bevallen,ik raad je wel aan een beanbag oid aan te schaffen ter stabilisatie vanuit de auto,ik zou zo weer naar kruger terug willen gaan,een zaak vraag ik me trouwens af (niet dat je fotos me niet bevallen oid,maar waarom gebruik je veelal ISO 400 of hoger in je opnames en niet bv 100 of 200),

groetjes,
Paul

Hi Annick,
Mooie lage pov heb je hier gekozen. Zeker met de buik in het gras gelegen. Prachtige scherpte en details! Mooie kleuren... en helaas ik kan je niet helpen met de id. Ze heeft een rare brede snavel die ik niet kan plaatsen.

Bonjour Annick,
Your bird resemble to a female "canard souchet" (in frech), anas clypeata, we have here in North America. Here, the beak and the top of the head is a bit paler, but it may be an "area variety", I don't know.
The shot is perfect, light, DOF, sharpness... Congratulations!

Hello Annick,
Great close-up of this American Shoveller. Impressive sharpness and fine colours. Are those hairs in his beak? Excellent composition in good light.
Many thanks, Ulla

That broad beak is a give-away. : )
It is a "Donald Duck" kind of duck!
Yes, a Northern Shoveler seems to be the right ID, and a female at that.
Fantastic details, especially the "hairs along the beak.
"Its elongated, spoon-shaped bill has comblike projections along its edges, which filter out food from the water." A distinctive feature of dabbling ducks.
TFS. : )

Hi Annick,
this is definately a Shoveller.
+++ Very very sharp, very detailed, excellent low-down POV, superb colours and a brilliant DOF to isolate it from it's BG.
--- Absolutely nothing :)
Well done,
Joe
