I don't care for duck myself. You've outdone yourself on this one. Amazing timing and result.

Wow, amazing. I saw this once when my boys were playing baseball and the eagle flew over the field about 40 ft above our heads. I yelled out for all to look up and we all saw it, but I didn't have my Canon at the ready to capture anything like this.
Well done!!!

totally stunning shot. Sad really but that turned quickly to laughter at the title (shallow me!!). That duck looks very chilled out considering its about to be torn to shreds..sorry just to bring the laughter back down lol :)
