This image was made just as the shelduck had taken off.
Canon EOS 1DIII with 400mm f5.6 L at f5.6 1/500s ISO 400

Good timing here Gautam and nice and sharp around the head area. If you had used a higher shutter speed it would have frozen the action here and perhaps a higher F-stop would be advisable to be assured of everything in focus. I really like the action and flight pose here, Thanks for sharing.

Nice find and capture. The wing position is not ideal, since you have a 1D3, you could have used ISO 800 for higher shutter speed.

Agree with previous comments Particularly like to seen wings all up or down Do like the bg a lot Fine image !!!!

I like it, even the wing position and blur. I also like the still-wet abdomen and falling water drops. I only wish for slightly more room above and right, and perhaps a more visible catchlight.
