Killer flight shot, Sid!!! Love the way the duck is stretched and all those details are the wing is amazing.

Sidharth, You have set a very high standard. The wing position, the lighting, the sharpness, and wonderful detail. This is the quality I aspire to. Thankyou. Pamela

Your my hero Sid!! You know I love waterfowl images and I must say, yours rock!! This is a great shot of a drake Wigeon. Wonderful pose with the wings up and the detail and color look perfect.
I might smooth out that dark spot to the UR of the head. Oh, perfect comp also. Very nice.

Another great duck shot from you!
Tack sharp and superb details. Nice light as well.
And so nice to see the full wings up position.
I would like a bit more room on the RHS for personal taste but still like it as is,
Gail

Hi Dave, coming from a master flight photographer that's a very generous and encouraging compliment. Thanks!.
Good call on the dark spot. I missed it. Will fix.

Hi Sid, I think I need some lessons on how to capture perfect flight images - excellent wing position. I like the detail and colours, and pops nicely against the water BG. Well captured.
