This is lovely Derke.
A very peaceful and tranquil image.
Can't get a better POV and love the clean BG.
Reflection is quite nice so I am glad you kept it in the image

Very nice clean and neat image Derek, love the simplicity and do think the reflection adds to the image.

[Bill Dix]

Ditto the above: simplicity and tranquility make this one special. Not to mention the good light, detail, pose, POV. Nicely done.

I echo the previous comments, lovely image. Thank you for sharing, Derek.

Good on you for posting Derek.

Beautiful image with the perfect POV mate. Nice and tranquil water.

Thanks for sharing.

PS. The only thing I would drop is the feathers and pansies style description. You know I am allergic to that.
