fantastic.

I love the play of light on the left hand wing, reflece=ted from the water. As you said, it is a shame you didn't get the enture reflection, but it is still a very nice picture.

Hi Gert,

Normally, I'd refrain from giving my points to someone with so many; however, I was so overwhelmed by this tremendous dynamic shot, that I would have given more if I could. Love the sharpness and clarity of the duck. Well done.

Regards

Hi Gert,
Amazingly beautiful photo, with great light and sharpness. I like the rippled reflection in the water and the position of the wings. Even the wings have catched some sun reflection of the water.
Thanks for this great photo.

No Gert, you can't do that. Think of all those out-of-work Mallard models up in Sweden with no income.
I bet you can't NOT post another one for us!
Super catch my friend, especially showing the tail fanned out in the water ripples. Exceptional sharp details and colouors, well done.

Still hot and sunny down under - no complaints from me!

Hello Gert,
Very nice in flight shot, the frozen capture is great, I also like how the reflecting light illuminates the underside of the mallard with a nice reflection. :)

Privet Gert.
Very quietly sits on the shade. It is well looked not merging with a background. A correct composition and RAW-processing.

Hi Gert
Air brakes applied, landing gear lowered, flaps down, visibility 10/10, runway cleared, all systems ready for a safe landing, oops there's a photographer in the way captain.
Very nice capture and a great photo on all counts. There, it is done - it's so easy to do your critiques (chuckle).
Very good work and TFS.

Hello Gert,
Very nice inflight landing mf. Very sharp and exposed well, with excellent DOF, detail and POV. As for the reflection, the cup is half full - not half empty! ;-) Very well done.
