The Duck photography workshop 1/18 by EJ was a blast - lot to learn from a maestro ! Last day and we were at a park, his sharp eyes spotted this and out goes a call - the reaction was a gasping moment of course through the lens - seemed like a football was skimming the water at a tangent and the feathers on the back of the neck obviously gave away the excitement of a possible partner closeby. IT was a bang and so was the photoshoot. Thanks EJ.

Great action pose, Ramesh. The color of the water complements your subject beautifully.

Very nice action shot Ramesh! EJ taught you well. These are not an easy shots to get.Beautiful colors. I have two suggestions here. First the green logo takes attention from the beautiful bird..perhaps black, white or light grey logo would work better. Second ,,if you have some more space above the bird would really help. But chances are not. I know, these shots happen so fast, so we are happy to get anything in the frame.
Well done shot.

Lovely action capture and the golden water is a bonus! More room at the top would really help this already sweet capture, Ramesh.

You did well to catch the action and reflection- other comments noted. You're so lucky to have attended an EJ bird workshop!
