VERY sharp and excellent contrast, really nice shots. How close were you, what lens were you using? More to the point, did you get your feet wet taking the shots? :D

Have to agree.

Best duck shots i've seen in a while :clap:

Great shots. Very sharp and nice vivid colours :)

Last one has to be my favourite.

Thanks guys.

No I didnt get wet. Grass stains on my knees though from kneeling down.

Taken with 400mm prime and lucky to be reasonably close. They are all at Pensthorpe (http://www.pensthorpe.com/) near Fakenham.

I thought someone would have had a stab at naming them all!!

All great shots. You clearly know which end of the camera goes where.
