Nice action photo KK. It is actually touching the water with the tips of the wings!
Shot at the right moment.
A good mirroring.
A beautiful capture KK with a superb reflection!!
Just a little more light on the face would do it for me. Congratulations!!
Love this image KK !!!!!! Can't see any way to improve it !!! I l see lots of detail around the dark parts of the face You get a well deserved Big Time Congrats !!!!!!!!
Lovely action image. The reflection is cool as the wing tips touching the surface gently.

KK< This is one of your very best and that is saying quite a bit. Despite the bird angling away from you the detail on the top of the near wing and the reflection combine to put this one over the top...
later and love, artie

Absolutely stunning KK. Love the superb detail, lighting and excellent reflections. Awesome image.
Crisp, clean and great reflection. Beautiful
I really love the reflection,details and action!
I would prefer a little more light on the face area, but man-o-man what a terrific photograph!! The wings skimming the water make it for me... :-)
The only nit here is I am so incredibly jealous. The reflection makes this very special.
Sweet image here KK. Simply beautiful.
I really like the reflection. Great image!
Love how the wing *just* touches the water. Exceptional image!

Nothing more need be said except ATTABOY! Is the northern pintail native to southern China? I know it is circumpolar in the norther hemisphere, but had no idea it extended deep into China. Unless I'm mistakenly thinking Hong Kong is farther south than it really is.

Northern Pintail is migratory bird over here. They are from northern China as far as I know. They breed in N Asia and winters S China eg Hong Kong.
