Greetings!
I took this on my last day with the Nikon before switching over...
Nikon D90, glorious Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro, iso200, 1/500 (?), f8.
Anyhow, I do hope you'll enjoy. Aside from the crop, I made a very slight levels tweak and that's all.
Warm and appreciative thanks for your consideration
Brendan thanks kindly for the comments...as for me, I'm rather fond of the out-of-focus juvenile gull in the LRC (not a duck but a gull ) but I could see the logic to removing it as well...

Jack I like this image very much indeed. I too would suggest a crop from the top, I would also add a tiny bit of canvas (or recrop if possible) to give a little bit of space under the gull - doesn't need to be much at all but I think this would make a significant difference.
As a matter of possible interest: the gull was sitting on a somewhat unphotogenic breakwater and so I framed the shot accordingly. Thank you for the suggestion, Jonathan. As of now I have no idea how to add canvas, and I fear that if I ever open that can of worms, there could be trouble, which is to say that I'd lose my mind to endless tinkering. That said, I see the value in employing such tricks so as to improve one's images, that's for sure...
