The sun was just breaking across the water when this duck swam by. From the bin,played with it~some softening and left it darker. Need opinions. :)

Love the looks of the water, with the reflections and the ripples. Nice colors and a great composition. An early morning swim is absolutely out of the question for me. I am not a member of the Polar Bear club. LOL.

He is probably just returning for a hard night of partying in the woods with a tiger. :) I like the effect and lets hope the Missus is asleep on the nest.
Good post Ami.

Fine image Ami - If you want my opinion, I think a little brighter would have been better - then if the glare was too much you could have reduced that by using "darken highlights" (that is, if you are using photoshop or photoshop elements).

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

Reading only the title in my friends-list was sufficient enough to make me shivering Ami, as I thought you had depicted a person taking a swim in wintertime. It eased my mind when I saw that a duck was the subject, lol.
Thanks for a very fine post. Well done.
Regards, Cornelius.

That duck is the perfect colors for this shot. I like the darkness of it. A very soothing mood to it.

Beautiful composition. The subtleness of the colors make for a very soothing and sophisticated image.

The higher contrast makes the water sparkle and also seem cold. Nice pic.

Lovely tones, reflections and imagery. Especially enjoy the ripples around the duck.
