Knowing it was that time of year again amd knowing that my dear friend Tick has had a few...shall we say...'issues', I decided I better check in on him and make sure he was still attending his FPA meetings. Well, I couldn't find the Son-of-a-gun anywhere, but I happened accross this good looking fellow. I asked if he knew where the meeting was and kind enough to point me in the right direction! My weird Wed offering a few hours early...

Excellent focus on the mallard's head & I like how you got some motion blur in the wings. I believe it adds to the image. The background might be a bit bright, but not bad. Wonderful post Rich.

I think this is the Spokesduck for the FPA GBR. They watch me like hawks. Is that a oxymoron. They watch me like ducks just doesn't have the same ring. Once accused by the FPA you are branded for life. They keep you "down" if you get my drift.

Great post and thanks for the cheering up. Oops, late for the FPA meeting. We are roasting Daffy Duck tonight. :)

Those wings look like they are flapping pretty fast. Nice shot, Rich. I was stopped by another FPA member the other day, but he let me go. He said I have been punished enough, when he saw that goose hanging on to my leg with its beak. LOL.

I like this unusual pose, and glowing background. I see water spraying off his beak. Nice details considering how quick they can be. Feels like a spring morning.

I like the blur of the wings as she points the way to the FPA meeting... Some people don't like blur but I do... Good one, Rich!

Personally I like the entire image, the brightness of the background... to me anyway.... contrasts beautifully with your duck showing the droplets her beak.... & she looks right on the very brink of taking flight. I think it's a terrific shot hon !
