Double Yellow Bill Ducks

[Stu Bowie]

This was taken in Milnerton, a suburb in Cape Town, during my december holidays. It is coincidental that one is above the water line, and the other against the water. The colour of the water is as shot.

Very sharp and nice separation in the birds. I wish they were not divided by the water/land.

Great looking picture, Stuart. According to my taste, a tighter horizontal cut with less water and more space on the left to fly into, would have worked just as well.

Great details and the wing position of the lower one looks really good, too. I don't mind the separation but might try to remove the dark spots around the upper bird.

Thanks a lot for your comments guys. Much appreciated.
