Lovely colors and reflection. I think the comp would be better with a slight crop from the bottom.

Hi Jean,

Lovely colors and reflections. Looks a little over-sharpened creating halos but very nice as presented!

Lovely image Jean-Philippe !!!

Just magical light Really like it !!! Would crop slightly form top/bottom and try lightening the body just a tad. Sure wish you were on light angle for even coverage but really nice as presented Would back down the usm just a bit !!! Excellent !!!

Beautiful color and very peaceful. As mentioned a slight sharpening artifact showing on the back. Well done.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Gorgeous lighting and excellent detail. I agree about the above suggestions on cropping. Fine work and many thanks for sharing.

The light is great as are the water patterns. I would also go for a tighter crop. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Jean-Phillipe,
Agree with the others on backing off of the sharpening.........but this may actually be a first for me on BPN............I like the crop as presented and wouldn't remove any of that stunning water or textures! This is definitely a first for me! Hope Artie sees it!

Thanks to all for your feedback.

More kudos from here on the light and the simple but effective COMP. An option with swimming ducks is to place the bird in the front of the frame with lots more of the wake.

Thanks for your comment Artie.
