oh for a third duck so it could have been that classic wall art. Could have been a bit sharper but I'm sure that's hard to do.

I was out riding with some friends Sunday morning and a speed racer type on a carbon bike whooshed by me. I kicked it up a gear and latched onto him. It lasted about 1/4 mile or so, until he realized a chubby 50+ guy on a gravel grinder was sucking his wheel. Then HE kicked it up a gear and dropped me like I wasn't even moving. I am regularly kept humble.

Extra pointage for the bikes and inspiring me to relate a story.

Love this as is, but would have loved it a lot more if there was just 1 more face in view.

LOL, 7 seconds and 200 men? Oh if only we had those kinds of odds in my home town! Nice action shot, the viewer is drawn in and focused on the main rider, but your eye takes in the whole image.

What I like:
- Your camera/ editing did a great job capturing details of the birds

What I don't like:
- DOF is too shallow. In my opinion the background is fairly uniform so I would have stopped up the f/stops. That said, I've no idea how quickly the ducks were moving, so this may not have been possible but they look pretty settled in this shot.
- the poses of the ducks are too bad, as they are both looking away from the camera

Overall: Beautiful detail of the ducks but wish they were looking at the camera.

If they're supposed to be keeping the grass down they better get munching!

Ditto what Zita said ...

Comment by Zita:
The sharp vertical striations of the grass is interesting against the fuzzy wool and quite marked despite both being nearly the same color. Wonderful catch. Thanks for sharing.
