I found this Gadwall at the local lake. I like the touch of clouds on the right side. Processed using Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC 2014. Comments and critiques welcome.

The detail really shows on the large image even the water droplets, fine image.

I was just going through some images I took at the local park of ducks in flight and had some Gadwall images. Man they don't compare to this! (Though I didn't have blue skies, so that's my excuse). Excellent detail and nice pinned back wings

Really sharp flight image Jerry. I do wish you had caught the wings down or up, but hey, can't always have your cake and eat it to right? Still very nice work!

Jerry,
Lovely shot and great detail. Did you have more canvas on the left? If so, I wonder how it would look with a little more space there for him to fly into.

Hey Jerry, I also like the hint of clouds and while the wing position may not be perfect this is definitely a cool shot. Well done!
