Nicely done, Ofer. I like the low angle, pose, and comp. The exposure looks to be spot on.

[Phil Ertel]

H Ofer, I think the pose is delightful as it gives us a very nice view of the details of the under side of the wing. Good use of depth of field to get good detail throughout the bird and yet yielding a lovely background. The water drops especially the string of drops makes this special in my opinion. Thanks for sharing.

Another nice one. These ducks are very photogenic, and you have really brought that out well. Nice techs, action,shooting angle.

Cheers

fantastic image Ofer. When I see this I wanna jump in my car and come by ;)

[Chris Kotze]

Excellent detail and colours and a super angle.

[MohsenVahedipour]

Wonderful low angle capture with excellent pose, underwing detail, sharpness and light. TFS

[Simon Bennett]

Super flapping pose, eye contact and low perspective. Exposure and shutter speed are spot on -well done getting the droplets. A slight cw rotation needed??

[Ofer Levy]

Thanks for your comments guys!
Simon, you are right - there is a need for a slight CW rotation...:confused:

[Doug Brown]

Love the low shooting angle, great light, nice wing position, and sharpness. The water droplets add a lot to the image. I might darken the pupil just a little.

[Arthur Morris]

Insanely good. My favorite part is the curve to the water droplets that mimics the shape of the trailing edge of the near wring. Also great is that the body is angled slightly towards you. Not sure about the merge of the top of the head and the darker strip at the top.

Excellent pose, sharpness and exposure! The water drops are a plus.
