A Mallard hen, vigorously flapping without going anywhere. It always appears to make them feel quite good afterwards, kind like I feel after a good stretch, I suspect ;-)

Nice getting two out of three birds in good focus, Gary. I like the stretched pose and detail and lighting are very good. It's likely to get tricky, but you might want to look at removing the oof foreground duck.

Gary, I like the image of the two in-focus ducks so much that I might also try to remove the foreground OOF duck. I think the image also needs counterclockwise rotation, but since Dennis didn't mention it I could be wrong.

Now that's what I call a family photograph. Good action, interaction and nice color.
