Egyptian Geese always like to annoy each other, and in this, these two were chasing each other until one wiped out. Taken early morning at my local pond in Pretoria.

Excellent action capture. Sharp and capture in good light. I particularly enjoy the facial expression on the flying duck. The scene is well composed with ample space for the subjects.

Fun action shot Stuart. Like the open bill and the feet extended out kicking at its rival. These guys are so aggressive. Every time I see them at a pond they are fighting. Nice work.

Another super shot Stu, I like it very much the detail is excellent. I am sure you chose the pano for a good reason but I can't help but think a 3:2 would have been fine (??)
