hello, dear TN friends, i would like to dedicate this
Mallard Duck Drake in in-flight image to my old dog Celtick
who had his surgery today, they removed a big cyste on his back,
the vet told me that Celtick lost alot of blood during the surgery,
but now Celtick is going well, tomorrow i will go bring him home

Celtick who is more than 10 years old, now he is
on the last part of his life, i dedicate him this shot,
and wish him for his last years of life, the sky to be always blue,
always sunny, always luminous like this image's sky...

I LOVE YOU MY OLD DOG CELTICK

Salut Asbed
C'est une Excellente photo de ce Canard en vol ! Les détails sont nets et l'exposition est bien faite. Du beau travail que j'aimerais bien réussir un jour.
Merci pour la photo...JP

Asbed,

Good to hear Celtick is doing well my Friend. Hopefully he'll recover quickly form the surgery and keep you company for many years to come! Dogs are such wonderful companions, especially to owners who really care for them. They feel it and return their love without hesitation. Best pets ever!
I really like this dedication. The shot first perfectly with it. Best wishes to You and Celtick!

I see how your heart strings are plucked by nature and tech natural process...even in nature animals mourn...in old age and illness you have given your dog through this image a sense of power and strength and no matter the final outcome...the right direction.

Hi Asbed,

What a wonderful dedictation to Celtick - I was thinking of him today while I was on the plane flying home from Colorado. I wish many more happy healthy years for you and your beloved dog.

Hello Asbed,
I like the ducks upward flight..It fits your dedication to Celtic.
He's lucky to have you as his master. I mentioned before that I also have an old friend "Buddy" in his 10th year. Grey beard, arthritic joints, etc. But every now & again I still see that old spark in his eye. I think the hardest part will be knowing when to let go..
Hoping Celtic recovers well,
Howard

Nice dedication, the pic is also great. I had a few labs and one passed away with Parvo. They truly are mans best friend

I have not seen so much of pet love yet, Asbed.But i can hear them echoing in your words in several of your posts.Lucky Celtic!!!
I 'm glad he is feeling better now and that you are feeling better too, now that the ordeal is over.
This must have been a tough to capture shot.They just fly in and out of water in a flash, splashing all around.A good attempt indeed.
TFS & Cheers

I hope Celtic will be fine.

Hello asbed. Nice shot at full spread against the blue sky. The wings and the body in very pleasant position and thanks for sharing. Regards. Jusni

I knew Celtick would be fine. If only he knew you dedicate these to him.
You don't do too many in flight shots. It would be nice to see more from you.
Take care

Hola Asbed.
My dear friend. I hope Your dog is fine by now, and soon he will be happy again, I konw how does it feel when our friends are sick. Once a ratsnake bite my dog on his face, and i was afraid to lost him, i gave the frist aid on my ranch and spend the hole night close to him, next morning he was very fine. I will send some photos of his face.
Many thanks for Your coments on My photos.
Great image in honor to him.

Great shot freezing it's wing movements in downstroke against blue sky despite of low angle capture. I honor your dedication to Celtik and wish him many more healthy years to come. I am posting my dog, Sizzler's photograph on TL to you. Refer >for Asbed.
Regards & best wishes to you & family. Dr Subhash Ranjan, India
