This is another from RSPB Belfast Harbour on a fairly gloomy afternoon today.

Hi Craig,
It's better than any of the Teal in flight shots I have, maybe a little more PP work to lift the duck, not much you can do about the BG, nice shot.

A very difficult shot to get as these guys are small and fast-I like the detail and think some more PP may bring some more out of the image

Craig,
If this is the sort of shot you get on a wet Sunday in Belfast, look out for lots of visitors in future! Agree with others about lightening up the teal's body a bit, but there is a lovely green shade to the underwings that gives it an almost painterly quality.
