I like this one. The ducks are acting rather, well, human. Unlike
geese, ducks seem to have personalities. I'm quite fond of ducks,
particularly with orange sauce. Good shot.

Not so far. Maybe I'd feel differently if they did.
I'm not big on any beast or fowl that craps on my lawn.

Hi Scott
I don't know what I miss here but this shot looks rather uninspired to me.
Ducks are so simple to photograph, I expected a photo without cropping parts
of the white duck and
"something" more.

Now that's a strange photo Bob...

baseball, football, basketball, and hockey all in season.
I like the face off shot, the banner appears a bit dark.

Uhh, Bob
Really nicely composed shot. I like it. But...
You can't shoot sports with a Pentax. You should know
that. Only C cameras are allowed to shoot sports.
Unless, of course, you have an official C lavatory
pass.

Light fall off(?) is somewhat excessive.

They're geese. Canada geese, to be precise. Friends of Frank.
The shot is excellent, as is the rendering. I like the way the use of the
polarizer provides some asymmetrical vignetting.

Thanks, Rick, Jack, Brian, Derby, & Cory: I don't notice any banding,
Brian, but I'll look closer. I had the polarizer on, yes, but a also nudged
the lens vignette thing in Lightroom, so that's probably accentuating the
light fall off. I could have sworn they were ducks. I feel like a dope.

They are ducks, specifically drake Mallards. On the upper side of the
wing is a blue rectangle, the "speculum". (Of course, you can't see
that it's blue in B&W.) The speculum is

I'm always amazed to see that flying birds (waterfowl, at least) seem
to always synchronize their flapping wings. Cool.

I like it too, Frank! Looks like a matted for life pair of mallards. Well done
composition in allowing so much free space ahead of them.
Their synchronized wing beat also adds.
