Duck (photo) Shooting

These two arced around and behind, before a head on low level pass over the road. Click!!!

The angle of the shot appeals to me. Though the composition is not that good, particularly with the tree right in the middle.

For a minute there i thought you were actually shooting those poor little ducks, the image is good, but as you say the tree dose not help.

Thanks Leon. They're fast little critters. At that angle, accurate focus is incredibly difficult. They just keep coming. Had they not seen me, a nano second later, another shot might have seen them closer and more detailed.

Nicely done. Getting a shot like that is difficult, you can only have had moments to get it right.
