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

[Doug Brown]

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.

[Ofer Levy]

Another winner! I like the BG as it gives depth to this already awesome image.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Fantastic sharpness and exposure, Jim. I too like the bg showing the habitat.

Another fabulous DIF capture James! Love the BG, flight angle and feather detail!

[Pieter de Waal]

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

[Nico Steenberg]

IMG is well exposed with sharp detail, comp and colours !

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.

[Don Lacy]

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

[Daniel Cadieux]

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...
