superb image! great pose, IQ, colors & the BG. the hint of waves at the bottom adds a lot.

Great image David.

Love the colours and the pose. Its sho hard to catch ducks in flight with a clean background.
I wondered if there is a slight blue cast looking at the white feathers on the wing? I'm not sure if is the monitor I am on at the moment though.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Iain, Thanks for the comment but I dont see any blue on the white feathers? Might be your monitor?

[Bill Dix]

I remember your earlier shots of this species, and you've nailed this one just as nicely. Spectacular colors. There may have been others in your collection with better wing angles, but I'd take this in a heartbeat. Superb image.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Very nicely done. Great species, love the red eye and clean blue bg.

Beautiful colour and detail that eye really stands out.

David, you have the best BIF pictures ever of this species (and some others) and this is no exception.

[Robert Kimbrell]

Thats amazing David. The colors are so rich, and well exposed, Looks like a nice wing position to let you see all the colors on the top of the wings. Great Job with the processing too.

[Iain Barker]

Now I'm at home I don't see a cast on my monitor here. Well done once again.

I like the details, sharpness, red eye and wing position. Excellent image David!

[Greg Oakley]

Super image David - love that red eye!

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Superb flight shot of this gorgeous bird, David. Love the eye contact and the bird pops against the bg. Excellent work.

[dankearl]

You just can't get a better flight shot of these beautiful ducks.
They are so fast, I am surprised you get them this sharp at 1/3200.
Very skilled…….

[Miguel Palaviccini]

Nicely captured David! Great wing position and eye contact. Colors are vibrant, but not overly so. Wouldn't change a thing!

[Stu Bowie]

Hi David, the light has shown up the colours nicely, especially against the water BG. Great that the head is separated from the far wing, and overall, nice and sharp.

Isnt it fun to fire bursts as fast flying subjects fly by, and then to see you you've nailed it in the frame.

[Carl Walker]

This is a beautiful capture David. Really gret job

[arash_hazeghi]

excellent light, colors and topside details well done David

David,
Gorgeous and very sweet flight pose. Love it.

Regards,
Satish.

[Bob Serling]

Beautiful shot and exposure. There are so many shades of color when they're in flight, that it can be extremely difficult to get all of them right. You did a superb job!

[gail bisson]

A wonderful shot and a wonderful series you captured that day.
Tack sharp and love the detail and IQ,
Gail

A super shot all the way, the eye is surely the highlight here
