This is beautiful. Great pose, sharp, and the breeding plumage top notch. Just about perfect reflection too. For me it is not foggy enough though, and for that reason I would process it to make it look like a regular clear day by adding lots of contrast and a bit more saturation.
Thanks Daniel I wasn't sure what to do . I did have it where you couldn't see the fog but I thought it wasn't right that I might have over done it compared to the realistic way I shot it.
Hi Kevin, lovely image of this Wood Duck. I agree with Dan that I wish the fog was either more of none. In Lightroom I would try Dehaze to remove the fog. I think Dan's suggestion regarding contrast and saturation is probably the way to go. Thank you for sharing.

I am with the rest of the gang -- it needs either more fog or no fog :) Ain't digital amazing? Bird and reflection are loverly.

Kevin, a very handsome woody you got. Just love the silky and rich water colors.
Some great comments above regarding the clarity/haze. One other thing I prefer is a little less below and slightly more above - personal pref.
TFS!
Hi Kevin oh i do like it somehow as presented , but understand others who think it is not perfect as it is in between ...
Nice warm pastel color palette ...

Thanks Brian and after looking at it again I'm in your camp on the crop it would look better. Thanks for the suggestion can never have too many.
