Another great shot of Mr. Smiley JimboB. You remember the Smiley Face in Forrest Gump and what it said. That is why the ducks look that way.
Great clarity and treatment once again. You must have been a pool boy at some time the great treatment you do for the water. :)

She's a beautiful girl who obviously likes being photographed, Jim. Great details in the plumage, and I like the way you make the water surface look like molten metal.

I'll take your word for it, Jimbob, although she looks a bit pensive as if she had just caught her partner fooling with another female. Nice and clear shot!

A very nice ducky capture, and I agree they do seem to always be smiling. Is that were we got the smiley face? :)
