Wow, I love the two of the duck chase (of the tufted ducks), wow, those have so much action and you still got the focus so right. Too cool, and at that length! A bucket full of admiration in your direction, Andy!!!
I mean, these are all really, really good, but I am getting to expect nothing less from you any more!!! But that chase ... fascinates me most.

Cheers LaFoto, just to prove I can get it wrong. I focused on the water and not the duck :er:
