Learning to better appreciate these commoners. Started and finished tracking this fella in dark areas, but it paid off when he blew through a small window of light.

Nice action and sharp capture of this drake in flight. i am not a fan of the bright contrasty background, but we can't control where these birds want to fly!
Great looking Mallard IF shot Jay! The pose and details look great and so dose the BG. Well done
Come join me for a Custom Raptor Workshop starting this November 2019- January 2020.
P.M. me to inquire on dates, pricing and availabilities. Thank You. www.davidsalemphotography.com
Hi Jay, great flight pose, and I really like the forward wing position. Overall well exposed, especially on the head, and I like the trailing droplets. With regards to the BG, I would blend away the few large 'pink' areas, and maybe reduce the overall saturation and contrast.
