Thanks for keeping the seat warm

this was taken on one of the ponds on the wildside not the hide as previously mentioned

Since posting, I have processed a couple more, one quite similar, not sure which I prefer

Re: Golden Mallard

I prefer the second one mainly for the head angle and water drop.

Re: Golden Mallard

Second one also for me Stan
In addition to the points made by Brian the body is not in shadow and sharper because of the angle to the duck plus there is a better reflection
