    Nice Joe like the separation and wing profiles are so hard to get.I like the yellow at the bottom of the frame glad you included it. TFS

    This is very good I think. Could be a bit sharper.
    Goes to show not all about equipment, you had DFC light and some luck.

    Hi Joseph ... this is really a charm .
    Glad you got them in the frame and separated them nicely .
    Overall colors are looking good to me , might watch the darker parts as there seems to creep some blue through . There is also some noise visible ... have you lifted the shadows ???
    Subjects can stand a bit sharpening , I think .

    Looking good Jo, I would agree maybe a tad of sharpening and or a little Texture, I don't recognise the birds what are they?

    pretty cool Joe to get three whistling ducks all relatively in focus and with good wing position is great! agree with bump up in contrast and sat and a tad more sharpening

    Always a good day when a person gets 3 birds in flight that are sharp and not overlapping and with good wing positions.
    Good one.
    A bit more contrast would be good.

    Just a beautiful canvas with three different wing positions and good separation as well as a Lovely painterly BG with a touch of flowers. TFS

    Three's a charm when it looks like this. The pose on all three are very nice. Like the framing as well.

    Thanks everyone for viewing and commenting, much appreciated. I will tweak the image a bit to see if I can recover more sharpness, maybe by adding a tad more contrast. I think I may have gotten all this lens can provide, it was a long time ago when I was just getting the bug to photograph birds.
