Fine flight shot of a very fast duck. Good light with a pleasing BG.... The wing blur is fine for me.

Great flight image David and I am also thrilled to be able to view the top side. Very nice flight pose and excllent detail. Fine work !!

Cool colors and pose, like the foot hanging, I wish he was heading toward the camera a little though.

Looks like some haloing aroung the head and maybe some S/H artifacts also.

Big fan of that wing blurr David. Very nice bakground and wonderful wing spread.

Very lovely, David--lots of personality in this bird.
I don't mind that he is a bit past as he is giving a slight look back at you I think!

I like the light and setting, just wish the teal were flying toward you.

Just a tiny amount of the bottom to accentuate forward motion David !!! Impressive capture !!! Big Congrats !!!!!

This is very nice, I'm also a big fan of blurry wings. Excellent light as well!

beautiful bird, david!! love the slight wing blur and top view of the bird. beautiful light!!

Great capture David! the Bird really pops against that background!

looks very good David, good to see you posting again.
