Thanks, everyone. Simon, I didn't apply sepia toning, but did play with the levels a little and a small amount of USM. I think the sunlight (of which we've had very little!) was just right at this moment. Thanks for your comment. Bev

Hi Bev... nice - really nice. I'm gathering you've applied a sepia tone to most of this shot to draw the left-most duck out? If not - that's amazing. Crisp shot with plenty of detail. Well done.

Beautiful scene you captured here, Bev. And I love the splash of color from the mallard!

The brown colors work very well here, especially with the stand-out colors of the well lit mallard in back. It has a timeless feel to it.

Nice shot - I love the reflections, and the bit of green color amidst all the shades of brown!

Well composed, Bev...all the elements seem to be placed just right within the scene. The reflections add a lot to your image too. I like how the coloring on the male stands out against all the browns here. Nice capture of this mallard pair. MFC
