Just enough blur at the wing tips to show movement, great POV, DOF, & details Ray.
Nice colors and light, love the long tail I see so well too..
Excellent flight shot!

Hey Ray,
It is always better by boat and this is a great example. The POV you managed is very nice with that wave top under the duck on the same focal plane and the subject flying at you in this manner. The large version shows really good detail and a steady hand on the D800 in the light to moderate chop conditions of the water you were dealing with.
Well done . . .

What an odd looking duck Ray. Well captured, I like the wings up position and a nice look at that tail.

Nice wing position on this one Ray. Not easy to shoot these from a boat.
