 Northern Shovelers, male and female. Lake Estes. 04/18/16 9:59am. Canon EOS 5DmkIII, Canon EF400mm f/5.6L USM, 1/2500s@f/5.6, ISO 400, lens focal length 400mm. Part of a flock of about 100, who were trapped by the weekend snowstorm.

This challenge entry is, of course, DNMC. It is meant to be tongue-in-cheek and a lighthearted alternative. Frankly, I had no interest in photographing a SL with a shovel.
