I found these ducks at a small lake and after sitting watching them for a while I they started to speed across the water. The would start moving really fast and just slide across the top of the water. It was an amazing thing to watch. The ducks are Pacific Black Ducks.

All photos were taken with 350D and Bigma (sigma 50-500)

Any comments or tips would be greatly appreciated.

1. Creating a wake

Nice speedboat racing you have there. Love the cornering motion you captured in the last one. :)

Thanks for the comments.

Any suggestions as to what could have improved these shots.
