Photographed at a local lake, I got really lucky that the Teal was banking.

A fine image of a very colourfully species of waterfowl, Axel.

We have a very similar species of duck here in Australia. This image inspires me to have a go at a flight shot.

Brilliant shot in all respects. Beautiful wing spread-best I've seen to show off the green wing colors.

Really difficult to get a shot like this. Great body angle and wing position. It looks like the head may suffer a bit from some sharpening artifacts - maybe just back off on the sharpening ever so slightly.
