I love it! You can even see the droplets coming off her feet! Was this a one shot only? Just wish the head had a bit more sharpness, but I still think it's a nice shot! #383865Pamela K January 31, 2006
Thank you, Bianca!! Glad you like it!Unfortunately, none of my other shots in that series managed to capture the whole duck, she was too fast for me! In fact, the blur in the head and wings shows how fast she was flying, since I had a shutter speed of 1/320 sec (usually enough for an action shot). She was moving her body faster than the drops were falling...

Wonderful catch, and the blurred wings give it extra effect. Well done. #2361135Pamela K November 14, 2006
