One of my favorite duck species - expertly captured. Love the way the background colors compliment the birds' plumage.

 

Well done.

What a wonderful capture.....this brings back so many memories of a documentary movie....if you have not seen it, you must....it's called 'Winged Migration", a Sony Pictutes Classics and Academy Award Nominee. Truly a Visual and Audio treat. (rental....@2003)

 

It is a stunning visual voyage from the birds' perspective, as at least 14 species travel to at least 7 continents, following their inner 'GPS'......as they have for thousands of years......their Migratory Routes, with all the dangers they face. Little narrative, but what there is, fills us in just enough to amaze and treat our eyes as you watch some of the most fantastic cinematography you willl ever see. Your beautiful capture here is so reminiscant of the many fantastic birds in the film.

 

At times you are so close you can hear the rythmic beat of their wings and swear their eyes were merely feet away. Your beautiful detail in the plummage is nothing short of perfect...........a lovely soft DOF is your background in this amazing example of what our feathered friends are capable of.......it is unfortunate that we as human beings do not have such an inner GPS....perhaps we would not be destroying so much of what is left of the habitats they so bravely, and astonishingly accomplish from year to year.....congrats Linh Dinh......amazing Photo....one day perhpas I'll become adept at such a level....sincerely, Gail

Superb photo of the duck in flight, pin sharp and beautiful bokeh.

Catch light in the eye.

And there is also a tiny drop of water underneath it's tail.

And on top of that, perfect colour coordination :)

 

All the best!
