    Nice work. I've never had much luck getting these guys in flight. This one has a good flight angle, wing position, exposure, and looks sharp on my monitor.

    Top shot John. One of my bucket list shots is to get a close duck in flight...they're so fast and always too far away from me! It does look a tad soft to me, but I'd be happy to get something similar. Cheers.
