Concentrate on equipment and you'll take technically good photographs. Concentrate on seeing the light's magic colours and your images will stir the soul. - Jack Dykinga

Both of these are sensational photographs Les but the second one rises to the top. It's stunning.

These are really good! The light in the second makes that one even extra special. Some very good shooting.

Awesome shots and the breeze from the wings as they passed probably felt good also.

Great shots. Do you have any of them coming in on "short final" to land?

I love the iridescence and color variables in the Mallard's feathers and you captured them exceptionally... pretty shots.
