I like the flight angle showing the top of both wings. Nicely exposed with a good BG. Smart looking bird that I have never seen this close.

Beautiful flight shot of this difficult (for me anyway) duck to nail! I like that you got him turned just enough to see both wings and the little fork in the tail. Sharon

Super slight shot on this amazing duck. Wish to see a tad more room on the right. Love that dual BG.

Beautiful flight shot Karl. Love this one. You got a great POV and a lovely flight pose. I had one pair visit the harbour last winter, hopefully they return this year.

Well done
