It looks like these two ducks were racing but actually they had just landed in the pond. They came from behind me and by the time I realized they were landing it was too late to catch them in flight. The best I could do was catch them as they hit the water.

A very cool action shot, Gary. Excellent detail and the splashes are really neat. Well caught and photographed.

Gary: excellent behavioral scene. Nicely done to get both ducks in sharp focus especially so with the amount of water that is being splashed. Richard
