    Default Double Bank

    These yellow billed ducks are extremely fast fliers, and at this location, would come in from behind us, unsighted. Sometimes they would then bank infront of of us, and land in the water. I wished for a better BG, but will take this any day.

    You captured this well,Stu.I like the wing position and fanned tailed of the front bird,as well as the good HA of both.Yes, a different bg would have made this even better.At that ss and f-stop you also did extremely well ito sharpness.

    excellent Stu, love the details, the front duck has excellent wing position too, I wish the back one was in down stroke position but great shot as is

    Brilliant sharpness , and exposure on this one . If the one behind had the down stroke wing position , it would have been over the top with / without this BG .

    Nice capture with both of them Stuart, I agree w/ Arash regarding the back ducks wing but I would still love to have this one.

    Super flight capture. Front duck is superb. Ditto Arash's thoughts above.

    Very nice bud...I like the space and the IQ looks good. I know if you had the image with both birds wings fully extende you would have used it Nicely done on getting both sharp!
