Great light and flight pose.

Terrific light, pose, colors. THe bird just pops against that stunning blue BG.

Very nice flight image of this species over a classically hued Great Lake body of water...These little guys really whip, so I am always impressed when I see sharp flight images of them. Nice job keeping light and detail in the underwing of the far wing.

What a fabulous Long-tailed Duck in flight! Great job with the blacks and whites and I like the slightly open bill.

Very nice flight shot.
Perfect wing pose and a nice clean BG. The slightly open bill is nice too.
The whites on the top of the head appear hot. Any chance of saving them?

Love the pose, the deep blue bg and your exposure control. Details are nice!
