These are wonderful. I love the detail, especially in the first one. The running duck is quite funny.

Thanks both - been using some of Braineack's excellent advice on continuous auto focus modes - getting there slowly!

Love #2......seems as if there were something just off frame.....like a bunch of rowdy ducklings that he needed to shoo-off

Braineack explained the difference between dynamic area and 3D tracking but basically his advice boiled down to 'learn how to do it, dumb*ss' so I did!

He was a real poser that one - had amazing plumage and boy did he know it!

Great shots.

Thanks! Appreciate you taking a gander (ouch)
