Nice work on those...

Excellent series with the in-flight catching my attention the most. Well done L.D.

Ditto to what others have said, all are very good, but the Canda Goose in flight is special.

Shot 1 is a bit too cluttered to 'pop'.
Shot 2 is first class.
Shot 3 is nice but needs to be rotated a degree or two clockwise as the duck is swimming uphill.

Very nice shots! I especially like the WD but agree it needs a tweak CW.

I truly appreciate the constructive remarks. I do see what you mean about tweaking the wood duck shot, and the clutter in number 1. I'll pay more attention on future shots. Thank you all again.....Mike
