Like the blues and grays and the capture makes the water not the duck the subject of choice. - well done! - t

Beautifully sharp mallard, but it's the water that took my eye

Thank you, both, for the nice comments.

Although I was initially looking to get the duck in a good PoV it was the 'bow wave' that caught my eye as well, so I'm pleased you both spotted that.

Thanks again
Peter
