The head and the color looks similar to Northern shoveler that I posted couple of days back. The directional space and the blurred BG adds value to the picture. I can also see the water drop just below the bird!

Hej Gert,
A superb in-flight capture of a male Goldeneye taken today. Your panning and focusing has produced a fine sharp image taken from a great POV.
Yes this makes a fine tribute to Asbed whose skills in taking in-flight shots with his P/S camera are to be admired.
Thanks for sharing this.
Hälsningar,
Ivan

Tyvärr är möjligheterna att fota ut i naturen mycket begränsade än så länge hos oss men vi kommer att få bättre väder snart.

Gert, How coincidence and we have posted the same kind of subject at the sametime but different bird. Nice shot. The white patches with the bird on the BG is really nice. Ganesh

hello Gert

you gived me a smile and a joy this morning when i saw
this in-flight photo from you and dedicated to me,
in the last week i was thinking myself « long time
there is no in-flight duck photo from Gert »
and i am happy to see it today, i wish other photos too come,

merci beaucoup Gert for your dedications and kind words
for me you are the master in-flight photographer
and when first i became member of TN i was in admiration
your in-flight mallard photos, and to do my in-flight
photos i was inspired from your's, with my small
point & shoot Nikon Coolpix i have by douzains
of mallards in-flight to be posted in coming weeks, months

superb in-flight photo of the Common Goldeneye,
shot with very fine POV, i love that in the same time
we see the duck by the side and by his backside,
superbly frozen flight with excellent sharpness and details,
i love the blur of the end of the wings that shows
the motion of the flight, also very fine framing

thanks very much for this photo Gert, it is the kind of photo
that i love to do and i was inspired from you're photos
when i decide to do 90% of the time in-flight photos,
actually i can say since the first week of january
99% of my photos are all in-flights,

TFS

Hi Gert.
Nice dedication. I also am impressed with in-flight shots of Asbed. His in-flight series is unique considering use of compact camera.

I think different POVs have own charm. And this one is not exception. Despite the not sunny weather shot is very impressive. Colours are wonderful and details/sharpness are great too. Colouration of the bird feathers and lake (?) surface is really reflected superbly. Wingspread of the bird is wonderful and timing is spot on. My best regards and TFS.

Hello Gert,

This is a very fine in flight photo. The bird is hsown very sharp despit it's obvious movm,ent. The rather soft tips of the wings suggest well the movment. Colors are very fine and there is a good match between the colors of the plumage and the background.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

This is a beauty, Gert, I really like the blurred wavy waters as a background and the sharpness and beauty of the duck. The grey light has been used very well, I like it, it shows the colours perfectly. Thank you and what a nice dedication!
