Nice. Just the right amount of blur in the wings and nice light.

I hear you on not being able to get out. For me, it has been the weather.

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

Great flight shot Jeroen,
i love the wing position,details and colors!

[Steve Maxson]

Very nice photo. I like the light, color, wing position, and background. The bird's body is angled slightly toward you which is a plus. Maybe a little more room on the left for my taste.

[David Hemmings]

This is a great image Jeroen, wonderful light and details. I would like a touch more room on top, but thats really nit picking.

Very cool, Jeroen. Love the wing position!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Excellent pose, details, light, BG and exposure control. I like it a lot!

Ok this makes me hate you SOOOO MUCH! I have tried toe get shots of these birds for ages now, and not only did you get a shot, this is perfect! Well done!

[John Chardine]

You overcame a huge challenge to virtually stop action at 1/800 at 1560 mm. And ducks fly fast so how you managed to get a shot off at this focal length is beyond me!

[Alexander Koenders]

Very nice done Jeroen. The bird is sharp and no hotspots at the white parts.

[Chris van Rooyen]

All said Jeroen. At that shutter speed even more remarkable:eek:

[Brian Wong]

Hi Jeroen!

I can't see how this can be improved. Very nice image!
