Beautiful James. I love the background, great wing position...
Very nice colors on the teal and I love that red eye and the catch light -- good job
I agree James, beautiful looking duck.
For my tastes, I am not fond of the shadow on the face and the duck is one wing flap past you. I would have preferred four or five wing-flaps in front of you, but knowing how fast ducks fly it is hard getting even a a sharp image which this is. You did well getting him.
Whats there not to like about this - you have certainly captured a variety of colours on the teal, and with a good flying posture too.
Nice detail in the feathers - this guy/girl is going somewhere with purpose.
The whole gray, green and white colouring on the wing is lovley.
Great in flight shot and comp. The colours is well exposed and the bg is a killer !
What a beautiful bird! Excellent sharpness and nice wing position.

James, these are hard ones. loved the sharpness and light. You've captured the plumage details so well here.

James,
Congrats on another fantastic Cinnamon Teal photo! I never realized just how many different colors are on one of these birds! Nice exposure, eye and pose. I wish it was mine.![]()
Very nice James, had not seen Cinnamon Teal in flight before - amazing variety of color.

Nope. I choke all the time when I see something good coming. Only I call it "Operator Error Under Pressure...." Sort of like OOOPs, but OEUP....
