Beautiful colours - the duck, the reflections, and the way the disturbed water in the duck's wake picks up the blue of the sky.  Very striking photo!

Cheers,  John

A perfectly mirror(ered) duck. The reed remains to the left introduce a compositional counterpoint that is most effective.

Nice effect indeed  :D


However the two pieces of wood sticking up to the left has a very strange outline thing going on, is this from processing or was there maybe a TC involved?

I appreciate environmental elements in most cases!
