Wings Cupped/Feet Down-Ducks in Flight

This is an exciting shot of two ducks in descending flight with their wings cupped and feet down.  Photographs like this are rewarding because it isn't a high percentage shot.  The descent is rapid and often the ducks are slipping side to side.  This makes it difficult to keep them in focus, not to mention in the frame.  It was fairly early in the morning so the sun was still low enough to put some soft light on the undersides.
100-400 lens at 200mm, 1/2000 second at f/5.6, ISO 1250.
