Yes, I see him and looks like he fancies duck for dinner! Your fine composition captures an interesting nature moment in fine style! Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

Comment from Donna Ruiz
WOW! What a perfect title for this image! It's quite remarkable. How fortunate to have this unfold in front of you. How fortunate to have your camera settings so right to capture the action. This is an image that is so interesting to spend time looking at every part of the frame. Really well done, Gracie.

Thank you very much Donna! It was incredible. Sadly, he caught a duck and looked me straight in the eyes as he was walking away with his catch.

Have to chalk that up to the circle of life. Almost every creature is a potential next meal for another creature. Although sad, it is part of the wonder of nature. Fantastic shot capturing that.
Comment from Sean T Phelan
Wow,Grace!
That definitely looks like a Chaotic situation,my friend!
I can easily imagine the panicked 'quaking' and the sound of furiously flapping wings that must ave been filling the air!
That's a Dramatic scene indeed and you've captured it beautifully!

What a great title for this shot! I see the coyote. I really do like what you have here. I have seen this happen before but just because of a noise or something. I did manage to get a couple of shots. I must say my shot was no way as chaotic as yours! Good job!

Comment from alaskapat
Wow! Look at all of the ducks! Poor things are frightened and trying to quickly take flight! This is an amazing stop action shot ! They fill the frame! We have a pond here and it's also. Warmed by a pumping station and there are hundreds of mallards , people come all day providing food so they don't even migrate ! Well composed and presented!

Comment from Barbara L.
This is really cool! I've never seen so many ducks together in the air in such a flurry of motion. You snapped the photo at exactly the right time to show the coyote approaching and the ducks taking off. Excellent sharpness. Great light and color.

Just a spectacular catch, Grace. Obviously you were there at the right time but you sure had great reactions to get this so quickly. A really great story telling image.
