Nicely captured, Tom. From this perspective it makes you wonder how they are able to fly at all.

A fine sharp capture of this Mallard making a smooth landing using it's reverse thrust, Tom.

Great capture.
Marisa Livet11-Nov-2011 15:34
It’s really a marvellous shot, the duck is pointing directly to the viewer and there is an unusual but very effective perspective.
I appreciate the excellent technical quality of the photo as well and the well matching hues.
