Another image from Florida. The two birds were almost in the same plain so I caught focus pretty well on both of them (focus was on the drake).

Please click image for uncompressed view, thanks.

Amazing image, Bob. Viewed large, the detail just jumps out at you. Catching both birds with the wings down, and both birds on the same plane (and sharp) is incredible. Congrats.

Great flight shot of the couple. Nice to see the different patterns of the down wings and the synchrony captured is outstanding, Bob.

Love seeing the pair in flight- lovely details, including water drops. So nice to see the wing colors.
