    Nonda, I like it! Your BG is a nice blur of soft tones-The duck looks good -Maybe sharpen eye?

    No cloning Mr H, just funky BG.

    Agree should have added extra sharpening to the eye.

    Do like it a lot as presented and that camera focuses like a demon with a 2X !!!!

    Would get rid of the little yellowish band at bottom and start off with the blue water !!! Really nice !!!!

    Hi Nonda,
    I like your composition, with the Mallard landing and the raised wing position...you have good details and a good head angle...the only thing that distracts from the composition is the narrow brown strip of brown muck on the bottom of the frame...I adjusted your base image to exclude this and open up the mi-tone a tad...see if you like...:cool:

    I debated that bit at the bottom, Don said it didn't distract, should I listen to him?? Noooo:D

    Fine fix Gus, thanks

    So sharpened eye, opened mids and fixed water

    Nice one Nonda. I like the second best. The light on the wing is very nice as well as the details. Good show.
