Desperate and Ducks

[Nonda Surratt]

Hey not getting out much so this was a sun/shade image, gave it a try anyway. Pretty much as made, did lighten the one ducks face and removed a duck.

Nonda, You came up w/ some beautiful colors in the water- along w/ a nice pattern to it. I wish the two ducks weren't touching but it's not like you could pose them. Still it's a nice shot

Hi Nonda,
I like the capture and image. The colors in the water are beautiful. Agree with Denise about the ducks touching each other. I made a change to your composition by cropping into a pano, boosted the contrast and saturation, see if you like this change...:cool:

Great to see you posting again, Nonda and I love the colors and serene feel to this image.

I love the image as posted. Those colours are wonderful.

Cheers.

beautiful water mrs nonda! glad you could find some time to post. really like the colors in this!!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

You did pretty well for desperate Nonda:) Like the soft feel and maybe just a little black to the neutrals. Water is beautiful!

I love both versions of the water but do favor Gus's just a bit more. Agree about the ducks touching but the overall image is very nicely done.

[Nonda Surratt]

Gus I like the boost, the water is my fav part anyway. Agree on the merged ducks too, tried to wait them out (very spooky duckies in these parts) but they were getting ready to loft, the others had already vamoosed..Goofy mallards.

Nonda, I like Gus' repost I think it adds to the composition.As I said earlier you really have something w/ that water-good eye.

I like it a lot Nonda Particularly has a strong feel !!! Favor the cropped a little more for the proportions, would lighten the ducks !!!

Thanks, will make suggested changes.
