    Nice to see three of these ducks in flight and all three look pretty sharp. Great to see the eurasian wigeon with them but to bad it's covered up a bit by the hen. Looks like you might have done some global sharpening as there are some moderately strong sharpening halos around the ducks. Nice shooting.

    I like the HA. I wish the angle wasn't steep and they had not merged. I agree with Dave, the processing is not ideal the sharpening halos are quite strong

    Nice flight shot in beautiful light, William. Ideally they would be fully separated but good as is.

    Nice shot, it looks a tad over sharpened, did you process with DPP, I get similar results, it seems to me the light angle is quite critical with DPP.

    Hi William, well done on getting all three with full downstroke of the wings, and its just a pity the top two are overlapping a touch. I would move them into the centre a bit more.

    Excellent shot, William! Not easy to get three in the frame. The RP looks better. TFS
