    My first image post here !

    The yellow-billed duck is one of the more common ducks in our country. It is often found within the confines of the city lakes and ponds and makes for great practice of in-flight shots. Looking rather drab (besides that impressive yellow bill) when resting, the Yellow-billed Duck reveals a band of green gleamy feathers on it's wings when in flight and makes for an unmistakeable capture.

    All comments and help on technique and PP are greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Welcome! I love the wing positioning, the light and the detail in the feathers. My only nits would be the angle of the light in relation to your subject and the whites being a little hot.

    Welcome to BPN! I like the blurred wingtips and pose is ok. Agree about the whites being a little hot.
