Well, I'm still trying to get some decent flight shots with the 400mm DO IS lens. This is one of the better ones I've managed recently and I do like the boring old ducks as they fly by. :wink:

There's nothing boring about this old duck. :biggrin:

The light is great and shows off the colours and feather detail so well.

Is there just a very slight halo around it, perhaps from the sharpening. Its not much.

A very nice capture. :toast:

Excellent filght shot Rob. Slightly tight for me personally, but hsowing really good detail and sharpness. I too see a slight halo, but it's less than some shots I've seen posted here, and nobody has mentioned it as a nit :confused: It's very minor for me

Nice colours and lovely light make even a boring old duck look good when well captured like this. :toast:
