Sweet Stuff Alan!!! Love the pose and the small trailing water drops coming off the feet... One of my favorite ducks.:)

Love these ducks but they don't like to stay nearby...:)
Love the details and the lift...
This really is a beauty duck...like the crop, sharpness and color...well done..would only wish for more of far wing to show, I'd love to get one this good....TFS
Alan,
This is one of the most beautiful pintail in flight shots I've ever seen. Always fun to see you posting fantastic work away from the "set-up" arena. Thanks for this one.

Fantastic pose, exposure, sharpness and pop. Is that the background as taken? JR
WOW! This is beautiful. Love all the water on the belly and mid air droplets. I think the head angle is perfect and the pose is OK too:p The provides so much clarity.
Another beauty, Alan. Wonderful flight angle, detail and background.
Everything is stunning good Alan...the angle, wing position, sharpness, light....you nailed this one. Thx for sharing.
Super fantastic shot Alan

WOOOW what a sharpness on this bird the water droplets adds grace to this image wish this was mine
I remember that day Alan :) Fantastic lift off pose with excellent details. I just calibrated my monitor last night, and to my eye the colour space looks off a bit on this image, especially if I compare it to similar images I have from the same location and same day.
Beautiful pose and the exposure is spot on. Very nice.
