    Nice. Just the right amount of blur in the wings and nice light.

    I hear you on not being able to get out. For me, it has been the weather.

    Very nice photo. I like the light, color, wing position, and background. The bird's body is angled slightly toward you which is a plus. Maybe a little more room on the left for my taste.

    This is a great image Jeroen, wonderful light and details. I would like a touch more room on top, but thats really nit picking.

    You overcame a huge challenge to virtually stop action at 1/800 at 1560 mm. And ducks fly fast so how you managed to get a shot off at this focal length is beyond me!

    Very nice done Jeroen. The bird is sharp and no hotspots at the white parts.
