Water off a duck's back · **1 Like**

I know a picture like this isn't exactly unique on the internet but it's my version of it.

It was fun catching this duck with all the water running off of it. My boys thought it was pretty cool!

2/20 Replaced photo with a tighter crop.

I really like the shot! Awesome water droplets frozen in motion and nice colours. Great work!

Thank you!

Nice shot, this is one that I might crop tighter so you can get a better look at the water coming off his back. Well done.

Nice action shot and well executed!

Great Shot!

Really nice one. I like the reflection of the duck and the glimpse of its feet under the water. The shutter speed was just right for stopping those drops too.

Now that's what I call WR.

Thank you to everyone for your kind replies. I'm glad that the Forum is enjoying my recent shots of ducks and geese. I wish all of my shots were as well received as these!

I'm going to take j2photos' suggestion to heart and crop the image a little tighter. The crop will be slightly shifted a bit to show the wake behind the duck too.

I'll update the photo here in a bit. Let me know your thoughts.
