Mallard silhouette and sunset reflections

[Dave Hardcastle]

Really interested to know what you think about this one. It's a male mallard with reflections of the setting sun on the water.

Dave, The water color and pattern is fantastic, I might take some off bottom if it were mine. Very different!!

[Harold Davis]

agree with denise on the crop suggestion. the water is fantastic!! love the image especially how sharp the bird is against the background. definitely different.

It is outstanding for that reflection alone! Well done! I think I would crop most of the Mallard's reflection off. I really like it. Works for me. :)

The colors and patterns of the water are excellent. I would darken the duck even more and agree regarding a crop off the bottom, a bit less than in the repost maybe. Keep them coming!
