More digging through old files on a rainy day. This one from Cape May Point State Park in 2013.

Bill:
Colors work well together, excellent head angle on rear duck, front is OK. The DOF helps soften some of the clutter in the water, but still a bit distracting. Good shooting angle.
Fun to go back and look at older files, often some forgotten gems.
Cheers

Bill, super light on the subject and both in plane is great!
I love the touch of autumn colors in the band above but find the surroundings a bit busy as well.
Removing the bright grass sticking up in mid-front may help a bit.
Processing on the subjects looks fantastic!

These guys knew you were around! We can really feel them looking seriously towards your direction. The water surface is a little lumpier than I prefer, but overall the low-ish angle helped a bit there (as Randy mentioned already). For sure I'd eliminate the vertical white line in the FG below the front duck. Excellent sharpness on both individuals.

Thanks Randy, Brian and Daniel. Yes, the water in that pond was somewhat cluttered. I'll go back and remove that one stem.
