An excellent shot, Richie! Very well composed. Pleasingly sharp foreground, beautiful blue water, and I like the warm sunlight shining on the rushes. Well done!
Richie...I see the water but not the gate, but who really cares. This is a wonderful shot of a gorgeous scene. Love the colors, especially in the cat tails. And maybe you can tell me something. When I show up at the lake to take pictures of the ducks, they always are moving away from me. I have more pictures of duck butts than any one person should have. Do you disguise yourself as a stale loaf of bread to bring them towards you like that? If I'm not mistaken that little fellah at the bottom of the screen is a coot or mudhen. There's something about me that scares the hell out of them.
Not a thing wrong with this shot. Lovely sky, great colors, excellent DoF and nice clarity.
Beautiful capture and colours, excellent composition and really like the textures of the cat tails on the left. Looks like the ducks are coming for a hand out, lol
