This is the first time I have attempted flying ducks. There is room for improvement but I think they're alright. Hope you like.

What is not to like here Oren. Beautifully shot. Sharp and lovely colors. It did take me a while to figure out what a DIF was but I haven't had all my coffee this morning.

Very nice shots. The last one really stands out for me, love how the wings are spread out in that one.

When I saw the title of the thread, I was thinking "Deer in flight?". Then I realized that Duck starts with D, and is more likely to fly. Lovely pics. I really like the first one the best

I came home from work and was suprised by all the responses. I appreciate all the great feedback and I am glad you all enjoyed them.

This is my bird month so I am really focusing on trying some new things and trying to figure out this lens that I have had for a while but still need a lot of practice to get comfortable. The weather isn't cooperating very well so it isn't giving as much time as I would like.
The contest for this month gave me the idea so I hope I can come up with something real special.
Thanks again all, and sorry about the confusion with DIF
