I have been culling out my images with a new workflow and almost dumped this series. I thought I would post it for fun. The trailing Gadwall took a nip out of the leading duck. The next in the series shows the trailer with a feather in its bill. Hope you enjoy.

Fun shot Harry. I bit noisy in the BG, but neat to see this behavior.

Very cool behavioral shot Harry. I agree with Ron about the BG- but glad you found this image and posted it.

Great catch of the action Skip, I like the reaction of the duck in front!

A fun shot for certain Skip, the expression on the forward duck makes this one for me.

Hey Skip,
Can't wait to see the next one!!! Good action on this one with a terrific headline. I see you're shooting with the 300. Is the 500 ok??? Other than the background noise you got a cool shot here and the next one is the one I'm waiting for. Hope to shoot with you this weekend if all works out. I should be able to get out Saturday Afternoon.

Thanks for the feed back. I reviewed my processing and I guess in my hurry to post, I just moved fromLR3 to CS5 and just sized for posting. Here is a repost after a little processing in LR3.

Skip Harris

P.S. There may be some confusion as to my first name. Historically family and friends call my Skip and others Harry. I feel like all the NPNers are my friends, so its Skip here. But Harry is OK, your preference.
