was the first day I could drive again after my second hip replacement...I came around this turn, saw the ducks but hated that I had to shoot directly into the sun...
was totally thrilled with the result when I saw it
tweaked a little bit in Nix

Likely to be one of the more underated entries. Perfect balance. Would look lovely on a wall!

almost abstract-y.

I really like the rich textures, the cool tones of the blues, and the positioning of the ducks - well done

Oh for shame!!! I would have loved just a bit more of the shoreline that runs across the top of the image! Still, a really nice shot.

Not sure if it is noise or grain....not sure if it was done on purpose or on accident? Kinda confusing...

I like the colours in the water. I might have cropped out the black part at the top.

Nice shot. black line at top needs to be cropped. Grass stays and really works well. I really like this pic and to be nit picking it would have been even better to have our 3 ducks in the glassy flat section and would have made them stand out even better. 7

dig the stark color palette .

This is a nice spot to shoot. I think those three ducks posed for you. :)

Very nice job. I really like the colors and the simplistic nature of this image.

Sorry I just do't like this much. The blue color is great but for me I would like to see a closer crop, get rid of the small amount of black horizon and perhaps have the ducks moving into the frame instead of out.
