| These are nice, when I watched them fly yesterday I realised just quick they flap those wings.
Great shots,
Jono | |

| Jono, They do fly very fast indeed and require a quick auto-focus lens to be able to pan.
Terry, They got scared of a larger bird we saw in the distance, I think it was a hawk or eagle.
Thanx Jan, I'll post some more later.. :)

| Sharon; You can take images like this too, not so hard when you got bright light and flying birds around you, plus you got the gear. Glad you like it..

| Excellent work John. You would love it here in Havant, we have loads of sea birds at Langstone and Farlington. |

| Shot three is just brilliant, John... you actually had me looking at the image blown up in Photoshop to see if it was a layered image to get *that* many ducks in there... stunning stuff... that's GOTTA be a saleable image...
Cheers,
Stuart |

| Thanx guys, Stuart, I was thinking to load it up on SS, but you know how some reviewers are. :( When they see one lill spec OOF, they reject it. | |

| Address that in the 'notes to reviewer' section - if you pre-justify what they *may* see as a mistake, they're usually pretty fair about it - have done it myself with images I have had rejected inappropriately... |

| Stuart; I uploaded a 2000x3000 pixel version on SS last night and today they accepted it! See how's gonna sell?! Thanx for the idea. I did some search on SS and found many ducks, but nothing like this. Lovetullys; Thanx for looking, eh!  | |
