    Nice alternating wing pose captured, William.

    As Karl mentions, nice alternating wing positions. The far bird's near wing is especially appealing. In this instance I'm OK with the merging subjects, but good that the bill is in front of some pale feathers. I'd be tempted to enlarge the front bird's pupil, at least for web posting. Had it's wings been fully down that would have been to good.

    Hard to get one in flight, let alone two...good capture, William. I like the trailing tuft of the rear duck.

    Excellent to get 2 in the frame!
    Even though the birds are merged this still works for me because the head is against the whiter feathers.

    Nice image. Good detail and colors, two in the frame is a plus. Thank you for sharing.
