I was wrong in believing that Brembo were the first in setting the trend. At what point in the Male Goosander’s evolution were red anchors introduced?

A very cool image, David.  I like the relatively shallow dof with the very sharp feet that puts the eye right where you want it.  That and the slightly goofy look of this guy make the image for me.  Well done.

Very nice timing on catching this duck on landing.  The wing position, head position, tail position and legs are perfect.  And what an expression on the face!

Great capture, David!  An unique and fun perspective with great detail.  It definitely is focused on that landing!  Very Nice devil

Wonderful timing and detail, David.  The red feet really make for a comical presentation.
