Joseph,
Je dois admettre que ta photo est INCROYABLE !!!
On se fout bien de l'originalité de ces nombreux canards en vol qui sont publiés sur le site. Ces prises de vue comportent un niveau de difficulté élevé, alors tu as tout mon respect pour avoir réussi un tel cliché. J'aime bien le détail précis, on peut même apercevoir de la glace collé au bec du canard !!!
BRAVO !!!

C'est un instantané extraordinaire, Joseph. Plus qu'agréable à regarder, TRÈS.
Tous ces nombreux détails précis, la forme de l'oiseau en vol, en font une prise vraiment hors de l'ordinaire, moins classique.
Je l'ajoute à mes favorites. Merci, Joseph.
Bonne journée.

Fantastic action shot of this bird. I wish it was my picture. The detail on the bird is fantastic, even though the light was not perfect. The slightly blurred wingtips works really well. Congratulations!

Well done and thanks for sharing.

Hi Joseph,
This is a great shot of this common seen mallard.
Very good compo. The position of the bird is well captured and shows us the movement and position before she will land on the water.
Rasor sharp en very fresh colours. Great job!

Jé désaprouve le commentaire !
Ce qui est original dans cette photo, c'est sa qualité extraordinaire, tant au niveau couleurs comme détails. A force d'essayer de prendre des canards en vol, je sais a moins qu'au Canada se soit diféernt, ce ne sont pas des images faciles a capturer.
Bonne année.
Et bonnes photos

Bonjour Joseph;
I have just discovered your magnificent portfolio. Lots of excellent and beautiful images, particularly of birds. I had come to the conclusion that mallards should be banned from TN - too many shots, most not very good. But this shows I would have been very wrong. It is excellent in every way. Felicitations!

There are many flying mallards on this site and they are all impressive considering the difficulty in getting it right. This one is an excellent pose and nicely composed as well.

This shot is superb.

Can't fault it. It's just a pleasure to look at!
The mallard is frozen in a perfect state of movement and this seems reflected in the tranquility of the photo. The deep blue on his wing is a nice feature.
You can really see the beauty of flying here.

Well done on getting this shot.

Cher Joseph,
Pas très original??? J'ai trouvé cette photo fantastique. Je voudrais beaucoup faire une photo comme ça. C'est très difficile pour moi de faire des photos en vol. Je pensais que peut-être c'était ma caméra qui n'avait pas de la vélocité appropriable, pourtant tu as fait cela avec 1/800. Ma caméra (Sony H1) va jusqu'a 1/1000. Est-ce que tu peux me donner des conseilles??? Fantastique photo. Congratulations!
