BBWD's Battling for Position

[Nancy A Elwood]

I was out at the Viera Wetlands yesterday am and these Black-bellied Whistling Ducks were fighting for the positions on these palm trees. I liked this particular interaction a lot!:D Taken with the D300s and Nikon 500 f/4 with the Nikon 1.4TC attached to the Quick Action Harness, f/7.1, 1/1600, iso 640. The light was really good just after sunrise.

[Art Kornienko]

The action is great, wish the perch wasn't in front of the ducks right foot.

[Nico Steenberg]

Great timing and details. Like the natural colours. Well done.

[Glenda Simmons]

A very nice and different behavior image. Well done!

Nancy, the comp is superb. Very strong image that makes a lot of impact because of the outstretched wing and open beaks. If mine, I'd try pulling down the exposure a tad.
