These forward sweeping wings always show every detail, color and marking on these beautiful ducks.

Another striking duck. The full forward extension does show his wings very well. Sharp, well exposed.

Really only room for improvement here would have been the light over your left shoulder a bit to eliminate the shadow.

Cheers

Fantastic work, as usual Jim. Your ducks in flight are second to none! Love everything about this one too.

[Jim Crosswell]

Another beautiful image James! I like the wing position, sharpness and detail in this one.

[Mark Young]

I love the timing here where you can see pretty much all of the bird as opposed to it just in front or behind you.

The minute I saw the thumbnail, I knew it was yours. Killer!!!

Brilliant! I actually think the light should have been about 23 degrees left to your right ear to make it a real killer.....

[Ramon M. Casares]

[Richard Pittam]

Can't fault it - superb!

[Bill Dix]

Another spectacular flight shot of yet another duck. Fantastic.

[Stu Bowie]

James, another great flying posture, and of course, the wing position is tops. Lovely detail and colours, and you sort of have these guys pretty well nailed .

[Greg Basco]

James, really cool detail. I'm not bothered by the shadow, I like the streaked water in the BG. Killer flight stuff!

Cheers,

Another beautiful DIF image James Bhai.. loved the shadow free light on the bird and the details are beautiful....

[Pieter de Waal]

Agree with the comments above James the forward swept wings add another dimension to an excellent series.

[Arthur Morris]

Pose and wing position beyond stunning. I think that a Linear Burn on the whites as presented would even out the lighting. Lastly the bill could use a bit of a clean-up. All in all spectacular.

James, everything has been said. Outstanding flight capture!
