Richie - The lighting and soft textures are beautiful. The river running diagonally across the image is most effective. I see the ducks swimming along merrily and a dog on the far shore, above the cattails, having a rest on the waterside. In candor, the vivid colors and lighting of the rest of the image show the brushed in clouds to appear as add-ons. But, it is a wonderful image none-the-less. Thad
The sky is perfect for this image ... I like how the water is partially hidden by the reeds / grasses. I believe I spotted a duck or two as well. Wonderful capture, Richie.
