    I captured this image a week ago at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. Finally seeing a few of these ducks back in the marsh. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    There appears to be hardly any detail on the birds. Is this a large crop?
    I like the way you have them positioned and the flight angle/wings look pretty good to me.

  3. Thanks Joseph Przybyla thanked for this post

    Thanks for viewing and commenting Akos. I think what you see as lack of detail is because there are two in the frame which really doesn't highlight either duck. To fit both each becomes small in the frame. I liked the image because of the complimenting wing position and two in the frame.

    The position of the birds and the wings is well-timed.
    But I agree with Akos in that there does not seem to be much detail on the birds - I suspect it is down to the narrow depth of field with f5.6
