Run Before You Fly

This duck takes to the air with a gallop.

Nice timing and water color. The wing position could have been better. Do you have a frame with wings up or down? It might work better as a horizontal with more space in front of the duck.

HI Bill,

I have to agree with Axel's comments. Horizontal would work better for this image. I would also remove some of the noise.

Keep them coming!

Great observations, Axel. I'll look back and see what's there with better wings showing. I'll also loosen the crop and go horizontal. I was trying to highlight the water reflections, thus the reason for the vertical. I'll repost if possible.

Thanks, Maxis!
I can easily reduce the noise, and I'll do that if I post a redo of the image.
