Well the ducks are arriving here locally for the winter. Which is exciting as this is my favorite time of year for photography.

Hi James, I can see why, beautiful shot here. The full wing down stroke is extremely nice. Gorgeous on all accounts.

James, you have nailed the wing position, and interesting lines in the water.

[Peter Dexter]

I agree, In addition to a great capture of the duck I really like the background. Almost looks like a "studio" shot.

Excellent image, Jim. Nice wing position, exposure and gorgeous bg.
Your ducks in flight are a treat for the eyes. Looking forward to many more.

She is beautiful. Against that killer baby blue backgound, perfect. Well done, as always, James.

Always great to have you posting ducks in flight. very impressive, this one...tough species to nail. loved that BG. A round of USM will improve it I think.
