Feet first

By KingArthur
An archived shot captured almost a year ago while birding by the shore.

The overcast weather provided ideal lighting to bag this Mallard as it ditched to land ..... frozen here in mid air. A pretty satisfying action shot.

Action Gear -
Camera: Nikon D500
Lens: Nikkor 200-500mm at 500mm

Have a great day,
Joe Smile
