This picture was taken in the fall. It was cropped from the front, top and slightly from behind. I removed a leaf just above the back of the duck. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Rodney, those are amazing autumn colors!
It looks a little unnatural. I'd bump down the red saturation a tad bit. With that much red, I'd expect that there would be some reflection on the duck, so that the duck is a little warmer rather than the yellow tint it has currently.
Amazing colors, but a little too Technicolor for my taste. Another vote for some desaturation. And I'd personally like a little more room in front, perhaps more of a pano crop. But a lot here to work with.
Nice image Rodney. Ditto Bill's suggestions.
Striking image. Visually, the reds come "forward" to the eye so much they kind of overwhelm the duck and seem to be "fighting" with the blues in the water surrounding the duck.

Thanks for all the comments. I desaturated the reds -40 in Photoshop and added a little more room in front. Does that help with the reds?
