Hi John, I think you nailed it. Wonderful flight shot. Thank you for sharing.

Nice work. I've never had much luck getting these guys in flight. This one has a good flight angle, wing position, exposure, and looks sharp on my monitor.

That is super John, lovely light great pose and fine detail, maybe some blacks a little dense.

Great shot of a beautiful bird.

I love that brooding sea as BG for this beauty. PMP TFS

Top shot John. One of my bucket list shots is to get a close duck in flight...they're so fast and always too far away from me! It does look a tad soft to me, but I'd be happy to get something similar. Cheers.

Yipee, nailed, check!!! I'd clean up the second catchlight but this one is a wall hanger!

Very well done John.....Great capture. nice detail and colours throughout.

Good work

Will
