This was all I could up with for this theme. Just one of our muscovy ducks swimming in our pond. Very simple PP, I just applied the watercolor filter after cropping it to vertical and adding a little canvas to the bottom. Any comments and suggestions would be most appreciated.

Hi Christopher, this is very nice - simple but effective. Nice earthy tones in the water reflection and good detail in the duck. There is some loss of detail in the blacks but I think I like that in this image. I would lighten the iris of the eye just a bit. Very serene scene!

Just to add to Kerry's suggestions I would sharpen the eye a little more.
