Thanks to the miracle of RAW adjustments, I was able to salvage this head shot of a Northern Shoveler in a close swimby at King's Pond. In the old days of slide film, this image would not have been possible. In deep shade, the light would have been far too blue, and I could not have pulled so much detail from his dark bill and head.
