[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was just snapping photos of some mallard in the harbor where my husbands ship was being laid up for the winter. I couldn't help but look at this twice, looks like the poor thing just got shot out of a cannon and has no wings.:o) Course he does but just thought it looked different..:o) I was up in the wheelhouse of the ship which was pretty high up since they had pumped out all the ballast in the ship.

Thanks for visiting my gallery and your comments on mhy photos

Donna :o)

Hi Donna,
very well captured in flight, even thought it is not a close up the details ar still nicely visible. The lake seems a bid rough, which brings out the textur of the water. Very well done.

Algo lejana, pero bonita captura Donna con gran colorido y un maravilloso contraste entre el ave y el imponente fondo azul.
el punto de vista elevado produce un efecto agradable sobre la composición, aunque tal vez un encuadre menos centrado beneficiaría la estética de la escena.
Mis mejores saludos... Ricardo

Something distant, but beautiful capture Donna with great colors and wonderful contrast between the bird and the imposing blue bottom.
The high point of view produces a pleasant effect on the composition, although perhaps a framing fewer centered would benefit the aesthetics of the scene.
My best regards... Ricardo

Now Donna,
Why did you shoot that poor duck. That was a bomb (long shoot) from the wheelhouse. You did very well catching an inflight with good colors, and details from that far, personally I would have had great picture of waves.

Hello Donna,
Kind of funny indeed!
However, what catches my eye is the surface of the water... Very goodtextures, fine details and attractive colour!
Greetings,
