It is so difficult to get a good clean image of these chaotic chases. Water spray, photobombing OOF ducks are the main problem but blowing the whites is another big issue.

Cloned out an OOF duck head in the water at bottom of frame.
There are a few issues with this image but I think the action trumps them. Your thoughts?
Comments and critiques always appreciated and learned from with thanks,

I am not sure how you could do much better; this one is spectacular. As is the (very difficult) processing.

Spectacular action Gail, well done. Agree there might be one or two technical nits but overall impact more than makes up for it - love the low angle. One to be proud of
