This is a nice shot Adam. Was this hand held???? That's a lot of lens to be hand holding. Exposure looks perfect and the colors are nicely saturated. On my monitor there is a sharpening halo along the high contrast edges.

Hi Adam,
A great action shot.
It's so good the focus and clear details got on this moving subject.
Your in flight pictures are so inspiring to me. I think good glasses like yours are a plus.
You've made a great composition against the blue sky.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

That is fantastic, Ada, WOW!
Beautiful light and colors.
Incredibly sharp details of this trio in flight.
Wonderfully balanced composition with the two ducks on top with their wings up, and the duck at the bottom with his wings down.
TFS. : )

Hi Adam, this is a very impressive shot of the 3 Northern Shovelers, in flight. You have great colour and clarity on all of these guys. Exposure, even though you were shooting moving, dark targets looks good. Sharpening is not bad but could be a bit of an issue. When you sharpen, use a duplicate layer, then you can use an overlay mask, and mask out just along the edge to take down any haloing. And borrow that lens again, real soon.

Thanks, John

Hi Adam, very nice to see a shot of the Northern Shovellers. We have another variety visiting here every winter, they look a little different and of course have huge bills! I have not seen them flying but you have caught these very well indeed, all super clear and sharp with great light and colours. Great work.
