    I really like the calm blue water that I captured this GWT
    flying against it complimented the bird nicely.

    Thanks For Looking

    You've been nailing these ducks left and right, huh?
    This may be my favorite of your series, the best wing position. Congrats!

    James, you're making me sick (with envy :) ) with these recent flight images. Another great pose, nice light, sharp bird, clean background, etc. Keep them coming!

    Very cool pose, details, wing position and BG. If anything, I might remove the lower catchlight.

    I would have placed the teal a little lower in the frame. Great job capturing this little bullet. Nice and sharp...and pops nicely against the water :-)

    Stunning. Sharp. Lovely BKGR. Perfect head position and light on the face. Good to excellent wing position. I can only dream....

    I really like side-on shots because they show the bird's angle of attack in flight (I used to pilot a glider so I get off on things like this).

    Great sharpness. Nice background. You must have excellent reflexes to track a duck in flight. Well done.
