Thanks Paula!It didn't take long... The four bottom shots were taken within a minute. The Pintails kept poking their heads up then putting them back under to feed. I was trying to get a shot of their heads but kept missing. The top shot, which was actually taken last, was taken about 3 minutes after the others because I had to switch memory cards.
This is the first time I've tried combining photos in Photoshop. Thanks to everyone for commenting!
