Nicely captured. I'll offer some suggestions after I have posted at least one decent BIF. Love the light, clarity, bg and dirty feet :)

crisp as always Dave. lovely pose, exposure and BG. that tricky white face expertly handled.

Amazing flight shot this

This is quite Awesome Dave. One of the better flight from the side duck shots. The background I feel plays a lot into the composition and puts it over the top. As well as those stalling feathers. The only thing I can se that I would suggest is to lighten up the upturned flight feathers at the very end of his right wing so that it stands out a bit more against the shadow of his left wing. Super shot Dave!

Nice shot, great colors and BG, SH and EXP spot on. I agree about separation between the right wing tip and the left under wing, pulling the shadows up and selective sharpening might help with this.

one of the best flight shot of this species , lovely pose , expo and sharpness, agreed with Paul here

Wonderful shot Dave. all been said and only paying my respects. That is some killer eye contact!

I am not too sure if the two streaks of green is good, but loved the light, pose and details on this one, congrats...

One of our own, a WFD in flight. Good sharp detail Dave, with well exposed colours. Well captured.

Dave, Wonderful flight image and great eye contact.
Idealy I would prefer the wings either up or down and not at body level but this is really nice.
