Leny - Can you translate your comments in English? You said something about Romy's name.

These matched pairs of beautiful ducks, with seemingly front-heavy bills, were flying in a photogenic formation when I got them at Candaba wetlands. Separation of the birds from the distant grasses allowed the background to dissolve into a nice bokeh.

Beautiful sharp shot and background isolation.
