Early morning in the duckpond

I drove to the pond before sunrise and had a nice time...

I love the rim/back lighting here, it gives your image a wonderful mood. The action is good and the water droplets are a big plus. This photo has dramatic lighting and would benefit from some more contrast. The traditional S curve would help.

Very lovely composition and I love the flying water droplets and blurred wings. The head is sharp and the light creates a pleasing mood. It appears that it needs a little CW rotation and the light spots on the right cloned out if you have no objections. Thanks for sharing Stephan

This is very nice. Love the wings, low angle and plash. The light is great!

Thank you for the comments

I would prefer a view from the front of the bird myself with a slightly better head angle. Nevertheless, I still really like the dynamics and mood of this image Stefan. :) Thanks for sharing.
