    Mallards In Flight

    Here is a shot from a couple of weeks ago, I really love the background and wished that my aperture was set for f/8 to get the female in clearer.

    Great background colours in this, would have been nice if both birds were in focus but I still like this one.

    That is certainly a great looking background. This almost has a painting look/feel to it.

    Thanks James, and I agree that it would have been nice if both birds had been in focus, but sometimes there is no time to make changes to the aperture when you see them coming at you.

    I agree with you Brian on the background. You know it does have that painted look to this image, thanks.

    I agree with Brain, and the paint like background colours. Good attempt at the dual in flight shot
