Female Mallard In-flight
The early morning sunrise gave me nice light for this one.

1D MKIV
500f4/1.4TC
ISO 800
1/1600 @ f/6.3

Larger version included!

Thanks for looking and for your comments

Alan must have just lifted off by the looks of the water droplets, it's a fine looking image with plenty of sharp detail and a nice BG no nits from me.

Perfect flight shot with raised wings. Love the droplets of water on her belly.
Well done!

Great light with just the right amount of movement in the wingtips to give the clear impression of movement

Really nice background too
