I like this a lot but feel the PP is just a bit much

Someone once told me about colors vs emotion. When you see snow your mind says "cold." So to prevent a mental conflict you want to stay in the cool area of the color wheel. I agree with that to a point. With solo pictures I'd agree. If you're making a collection and the whole collection is going to make a statement then I'd say you can wander off in whatever color direction you want.

In this case I'm not really digging the red. Red + water = blood. If your intent was to make the poor ducks swimming in blood then I guess you accomplished your goal. However I'm not sure that was your intent, so I would have suggested using a cool blue/purple/grey. I struggle sometimes with choosing colors like this. The red certainly does look cool on certain elements of the photo, but as a whole it doesn't completely work.

Not wild about the red. I think with the snowy scene, it might be more effective with a gray/blue duotone.
