Mallards in Flight

[Jeff Sorbie]

Taken this morning at Andrew Haydon Park in Ottawa, Ontario.

Nicely positioned in the frame. Killer wing position for the hen, not so for the drake. Both birds look a tad oversharpened for my tastes.

[Jeff Sorbie]

Thanks for the comments Artie. I will back the sharpness off a bit.

[Richard Stern]

I agree with Artie, and should add that I like the inclusion of a bit of cloud, to add interest to the otherwise plain sky.
