The lighting is so warm and the colors so complimentary. The reflections are great too. Could easily mistake the little guy for one of those rocks.

I can see why you opted for the long view as the details and assorted colour works are fine indeed. I agree with Cindy about the duck but I don't mind looking for him in this fine shot.

Great shot Lyn. That little duck blends in so well with the rocks and the sunlight on them it is very well hidden. Excellent capture.

He has succeeded quite well in "playing rock". I had to look for him first. Great colours and contrast.

Had to look for a minute to find him. Great shot Lyn. I like the reflection from the other shore. Water is so clear. Very nice.

Until I opened the image to full screen, I couldn't see the duck as he is well camouflaged among those rocks. Love that clear crystal water and the reflections too. Well done!

Graest comp again, with the duck surrounded by rocks in the middle of the deep blue reflections. I don't reckon you could take a bad shot if you tried!

You composed this so beautifully! I love the colors in the water and the duckling is so well hidden among the rocks. Excellent dof! Gorgeous!
