A bit of an assortment of ducks.

C&C as always. I hope you enjoy them.

Tim

1 Gadwall trying to break his own neck
2 Suddenly his head broke free and impacted the body with such force that an exposion of feather issued forth!!
3 Shoveler

4 Shoveler
5 Mallard
6 For Terry and Karl! I was looking for birds and decided I would try this. The problem, no tripod or tubes. Shot with a Bushhawk!

Lovely series Tim. Love the first one and the last two.
Martin

Very hard to choose but the next to the last is my favorite.

Great series. Where is the disclaimer "no animals were injured....". That is important when you film these things. Good job. #4 is my fav

Hahaha. Tim you crack me up. I love your posts and cant wait to see more!

like them all...

Thanks for the kind words Martin, that's the first flower I've posted

Tim

Very nice Tim,

the last two are my pick...

Lil

Neat poses on the first two!

Tim, thank god there is an explanation to go with #2 That is a wild shot, very cool. Those feather markings are gorgeous on them. Although the low angle of the Shoveler in #4 is nice, the Mallard in #5 steals the show, that is a winner for me

Now a about the flower................only one ahhhhh come on man! Those delicate paper whites are pure and beautiful. Lots of detail and a very good start to another possible addiction. Thanks for the dedication, needed that man

Nice job buddy.............Karl

Wonderful shots Tim. Although the head is nowhere to be found, I like the feather detail in #2. Second favorite is the last one, very nice.

Very nice work. I love the gadwall poses. They must be practicing their yoga.

Very Cool Good Job. Tim Ed

Hey Tim,

Great photos!! Your PP looks fantastic !! You've taken it up a few notches IMHO.
Great job my friend

Sorry I been away, ya know work and more work, going out of town for a few weeks R n R so not sure I'll be around much for awhile.

Look forward to catchin up when I get back !!

Mr Whitmore to you

Lovely capturing and processing. Great set Tim.

Jude

Beautiful shots, Tim. Clean, very well exposed, and with fine detail. # 3, and 5 are my favorites. Great pose captured in the first shot.

Congratulations on your first flower posting Tim. Its nice to see a full bloom of flowers getting attention. I posted one something like this a while back and got lots of useful advice including on isolating one flower instead of the whole bloom and I know this type of photo can be really spectacular but I still think the full bloom can make a beautiful photo.

Karl, it's a toss up for me, the mallard or 2. I'm not kidding when I say I was thinking of you and Terry when I was looking at that rhodie. I was on the lookout for a kingfisher but couldn't find one. I then saw the nice white flowers in soft light. The only problem was that I wasn't set up for it. Thanks for the kind words and being the muse sitting on my shoulder and giving me that little push.

Thanks Doug, that is why I posted 2, I had some others where you could see the head but I thought it was better without it!

Socrate, thanks for the kind words. I'm learning from you! I like 5 a great deal myself, that one was very good right out of the camera.

Thanks Martin, I struggle with isolating a single flower. I have to agree with you, a single flower may be the better way to go but sometimes the whole bloom looks a bit more natural.
