    Doug Brown and I sure had a blast shooting these little speed demons as I think its probably the hardest flight target
    we have among the many duck species wintering here. These little ducks are really pretty as I liked the color reflected on the water.:)

    The colors you captured on the head are fantastic. Beautiful pose w/ reflection. The colors in the water are special. Gorgeous!:)

    This little butter ball is a great example of mother nature's glory. She must have had an extra glass of wine the night she decided on the color scheme for this bird. Sweet capture of one of my favorites.

    Exposure, sharpness, DOF - all look perfect to me. Shooting angle slightly high but still a lovely image!

    Beautiful James, good job with the exposure keeping blacks and dangerous whites at bay.

    Nice pose. Good exposure control. Not much you can do about the angle. I'm just happy to be able to get relatively close to these beautiful ducks!
