I like the upward trajectory of this guy along with the wing position. Processed using Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC 2014. Comments and critiques welcome.

Jerry, this is a nice flight image of the Mallard. Detail is sharp, and the colors work well against the blue sky.

Solid flight shot of this Mallard Jerry. Details look good and a nice blue sky to boot.

Reminds of the plane I sat it this morning - which seemed to climb much steeper than usual.. Almost this angle.. Nice capture Jerry ! Hans
