I like the angle, details and eye contact, BG looks good, too. Wings higher up or down would have been great.

Great capture of a fast flying character Chris. Sharp, and I like the softer colour of the BG water.

[Morkel Erasmus]

nice one Chris! pin sharp and great angle. I would run very slight NR on the inner wing - but you might lose too much detail. worth playing around?

[Juan Aragonés]

Very cool flight image Chris. I agree with Axel about the wing psoition. I love the water reflection on the underwing feathers :-)

[James Salywoda]

Well Done Chris! Excellent eye contact and the duck looks good against the blue water.

Thanks for all the views and comments

Super pose here Chris! Underwing looks a bit noisy (possibly underexposed during capture). Agree higher or lower wings would be great, but I enjoy this image!

Thanks Mark
