Nice take off image of this beautiful duck....I like the position of the wings, the feet with water droplets . Good POV....Well captured Dan.

Dan, love the lift feel in the wings and water remnants to prove it.

Nice, lush bkg. Good and sharp. The only thing you might have been able to add would be to bump ISO to 1250 or 1600 and maybe hit 1/5000 or even 1/6400 to eliminate the last bit of motion blur.

Overall, a very good frame from my view, congrats!

[Colin Driscoll]

Great frame. Could a bit more be got out of the green behind the eye with a bit of dodging?

[Volkan Akgul]

hi Dankearl,

congratulations, it's really hard to capture, an effective photo.

[John Mack]

Nice how both wings are fully streched up. Some more room aboe the wing tips would be nice. All else is bang on.

[jack williamson]

Wing position is nice and the image looks pretty sharp, looks just a little bright to me

[arash_hazeghi]

cool take off frame Dan, I might reduce the brightness a touch
