I think these meet Petkals rigid standards. Both full frame (or close) if I recall. Ducks are easy Peter although yours and the others here are remakably well done. Try fitting all of a "real " bird in the viewfinder and not clipping his wings ;) .

Wowza folks those sure are some fan-damn-tastic captures, a great deal of awesome BiF shoots. Peter & Wayne lol I don't think I've ever seen so many ducks and certainly not in one thread. Threads like these are great, I'm sure alot of folks get something out of it even if it's just enjoying the fab shots. But in general I think it helps drive people to greater hights and achievements.


Cheers Wayne :D
