Wonderful image! I prefer this one to the standard wood duck pose. You have great light and really captured the moment. What was your shutterspeed and aperture? Congratulations on a sharp, well lit wingflap!
Jan, This is the first capture of a wood duck that has looked real to me! They are so un-real looking with their spectacular coloring. Your action capture works well. Bob
You have caught the action spot-on here - Lovely image of a beautiful duck. The complimentry blue of the water works well with the Yellow/browns of BG and birds plumage. Well seen and taken!!
You nailed it, and so have all the posters above. Loverly. These guys never seem to flap in San Diego.
later and love,
