Takeoff

[Rosl Roessner]

Nothing happened today, when I was outdoors, trying to make some images.
Then I saw a lonely duck on the little pond I have been waiting for Grey Herons.
Finally I got some nice pictures of the takeoff in heavy rain.

I like it a lot Rosl !!!! That is one happy quacker !!!! Just perfect pose and so explosive Might take just a little form top and bottom for proportion Also not sure the exact color of water but would increase density a tad Will make the duck stand out even better !!! Big Congrats !!!!

Really well done and the rain drops make it special for a slow day.

Hi Rosl, this is really nice. I love the rain & the splash has lots of impact. I converted the image to sRGB, the colors look richer that way. What do you think?
