Thanks so much!!!This was one of those images that looked good in the camera, but I was pleasantly surprised when it looked good on my PC too. There are so many times that I think I have something good that just doesn't look that good when I get it home.

The lighting on its own is wonderful, but capturing this mallard in flight over the water is outstandingly beautiful with the soft background. I'm envious. So well done. Congratulations, Mike, on your outstanding POTD!!!! #10142501Michael Umbreit May 22, 2012
