This month theme calls for Wood Ducks I feel and will post at least two more images of the species.

Nice take off pose Karl, falling water droplets really add to the image, wish I could manage a flying one, good work.

nice flight image

Great looking take off frame. I like the wings up pose and the head colors you caught. It looks a bit bright on my monitor. I might think about reducing the exposure a bit and adding a few points of black. Nice catch Karl

Hi Karl, excellent take off pose with the raised wings, and trailing droplets. Nice and sharp, and agree, toning down the Duck wont harm the image. :w3

Very cool flight pose. The wings are perfect as is the HA and I like the dangling feet and water droplets. The chest is looking a tad bright on my monitor.
