    These Black-bellied Whistling Ducks always produce such lovely wing positions, and in this, I like how the head is showing just above the wings. Taken at my local pond in Pretoria a few weeks ago.

    Very nice, sharp details and a well composed image.
    I would prefer to see the whole bill, only because so much of it is showing anyway.

    Just enough eye for me to make this a different take on a flight shot. Water looks cool too

    I like the 'cloaked vampire' look. You catch the eye as well which is great. Detail and smooth BG work well. Nice work.

    This is really nice Stu! I like the eye peeking up over the wings as well.
    Tack sharp as well with clean BG,
