Thank heavens, you did well not to remove the noise and kill those fine details on the wings too, Ivan.
The take-off moment with water drops flying all around is the heart and soul of this capture, plus the posture of the bird with its body and wings stretched into the initial thrust.
Cosmetic embellishments would mar the impact of such a fine action shot.
Thanks.

Hi Ivan,

I envy you the wonderful birds that you can find! Your timing was just right on this one. I like the splash in the water and the details of the wings.

hi Ivan,
bonne prise de vue au décollage :) on perçoit parfaitement le mouvement et la vitesse. Il y a un peu de bruit, mais c'est surement du à la recherche du 1/1000.

well done

Hi Ivan.
Amazing action in-flight picture. Excellent exposure parameters: sharpness of the flying bird is excellent as well as the reflections in the water. You are right: water drops are looked very expressive. However, really is ISO 400 a problem for Canon 350D? My best regards and TFS.

Hi Ivan, this is a beautiful in action capture of this Merganser. The compostion is excellent. The detail with the water spraying up as he runs across the water is awesome, and I love that eye. Very nice.

Thanks, John

Hi Ivan, a hard species to capture. They never seem to get real close. The taking off i well captured revealing nicely the wingpattern; the white 'mirror'is what you mostly see in a distance. Picture is full of motion. Great

Hi Ivan,
This is the sort of shot I would love to catch. The water is beautiful with the spray coming up around the sharp bird image. As I look round the various collections i feel quite humble Beautifully sharp. Well done Ivan.
