Beautiful James. I love the background, great wing position...

[Scott Frye]

Very nice colors on the teal and I love that red eye and the catch light -- good job

[Robert Amoruso]

I agree James, beautiful looking duck.

For my tastes, I am not fond of the shadow on the face and the duck is one wing flap past you. I would have preferred four or five wing-flaps in front of you, but knowing how fast ducks fly it is hard getting even a a sharp image which this is. You did well getting him.

[Pieter de Waal]

Beautiful image James and again with great colour and detail in the plumage.

[Stu Bowie]

Whats there not to like about this - you have certainly captured a variety of colours on the teal, and with a good flying posture too.

[Tom Rambaut]

Nice detail in the feathers - this guy/girl is going somewhere with purpose.

The whole gray, green and white colouring on the wing is lovley.

[Nico Steenberg]

Great in flight shot and comp. The colours is well exposed and the bg is a killer !

[Doug Brown]

What a beautiful bird! Excellent sharpness and nice wing position.

James, these are hard ones. loved the sharpness and light. You've captured the plumage details so well here.

[Kristin Brown]

James,
Congrats on another fantastic Cinnamon Teal photo! I never realized just how many different colors are on one of these birds! Nice exposure, eye and pose. I wish it was mine. :w3

[Brendan Dozier]

Very nice James, had not seen Cinnamon Teal in flight before - amazing variety of color.

LOL, thats a good one Guru.. Actually its true (at least for me), when I see birds coming in the direction I want them to come, it make me nervous as I dont want to miss my focus.:S3:

I love the colours and details here James Bhai..

I mostly always choke.... Are you familiar with that term?

[Pieter de Waal]

Arthur I thought only us novices have that problem:bg3:

[James Salywoda]

Thanks for comments everyone

I have gotten nervous but in general I have learned to stay focused at getting the shot.
When nerves take over you more then likely will choke:bg3:

[Arthur Morris]

Nope. I choke all the time when I see something good coming. Only I call it "Operator Error Under Pressure...." Sort of like OOOPs, but OEUP....
