Fantastic series (again!) and very worth waiting for them to load (load fast enough! thanks!) and to look at each and every single one of them!
They are so consistent in sharpness, light, exposure, colours ... really good!

Great pics as always, and I particularly like nr 10, the fact that you just caught the second duck in take off, really cool shadow under it as well
