    I like the wing position, sharpness and complimentary BG. Top quality as usual James!

    Great flight angle and nice wing position. Love the sharpness, and the whites are nicely controlled. Like the fact that the bird's head is clear of the reflected habitat.

    Excellent image James. I do like the BG and wing position, especially the far wing. Detail as usual is fantastic.

    Jim, excellent wing position and bird angle. Terrific details and light...keep 'em coming. Am sure you'll miss the ducks, like me, when the season changes.

    Wonderful flight image James, love the wing position and the BG adds a sense of place without being a distraction.

    Awesome image. I love the pinkish wash on the head. Habitat looks good. When the ducks arrive up here they are mostly very skittish...glad to view them up close through your posts...
