[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I visited the Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge yesterday where I found this Wood Duck swimming along the slough. Due to the harsh lighting I had to use photoshop to recalibrate the image as I changed hue-saturation and color balance to save the scene as you see it here.
Enjoy...

Hmmm...I like the pp work that gives this a unique interpretation...otherwise, I probably would have passed it by as just another duck photo! There is now an artistic feel that is very appealing, at least to me:) The duck is well framed in the composition and contrasted well against the glowing water. I like the textures of the glistening water surface and the blurred tree branches that all work well together around the duck as the point of interest. Nice job!

Hi Steve

This is a nice photo, I like the colours of the reflection.

You may like to check out my duck reflections...hope you like them. The colours are likewise pretty good in the their reflections.

TFS your photo on TL.
