Taken a few weeks back I liked the eye contact. These guys can move in a hurry such a small compact little duck...

Well done James, a neat flight of a fast bird coming to the photographer is not an easy task. The eye contact is a bonus.

[Glenn Bartley]

Very nice Jim. Great wing pose and eye contact.

Cool capture James and I love how you captured the irredesence on the face. Very nice light and awesome timing. thanks for sharing.

[Vincent Grafhorst]

A nice one Jim, I like the pose, the angle and the eye contact. A bit more DOF would have been nice though.

[Mike Wilson]

Crazy image of this little speed demon! Very unusual to get him coming at you with such a clean bg. Good stuff.

[Jody Melanson]

Nice one Jim! I know how fast these little rockets move. ;)

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Well done, these guys really are hard to catch in flight. Nice details, too.

Definitely not an easy task--great job on catching this guy in a good pose.
