And there he was - gone! by busylady

And there he was - gone!

As I so rarely post birds, I thought you might find this one amusing. This mallard was just sitting there among the duckweed, turning his head from side to side, when suddenly he took off. Of course I wasn't prepared for his take-off, so I just pressed the shutter. I think I got half of him in focus!
Cool shot! I think it all looks quite well focused except for the wings, which must have been beating pretty fast! I hope your husband gets well soon.

Well it’s in the frame & as you say partly in focus, so I would say you did well. Certainly got the action!
