The flyby....
Taken a while ago too. Don't know if the back Duck is not sharp enough or too sharp for this type of shot?

Your thoughts on this are appreciated

Id clone out the back duck and leave a solo front one!!

Hi Graeme - I like them both, lovely wing positions. Looking at this on a crappy monitor but I think it needs brightening a bit, though the whites look white. :toast:

I agree with Andy. Somehow the longer you look at it the less the back bird seems to belong in the shot! The front bird is a beauty - great position and really sharp. Is it possible to brighten it a bit too?

Hi Graeme - the thing about the back bird is the lack of separation between wing and head, and, it's a bit soft - otherwise it's a cracking image :toast: :toast:
