[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A very contented pair of ducks in Christchurch Botanical gardens last year.

I was taken by the beuaty of the reflections in the water. These ducks were happily preening and drinking, not all bothered by my intrusion on their late afternoon rest.

Nice ripples in the pond Martyn, great colours too

Yes,the reflection is quite amazing isn't it.
I wonder if the ducks appreciate it,
Come to think of it,its probably a nuisance to them.
Nice shot.
Cheers

Hi Martyn,

This is a beautiful image, eventhough the BG is a bit crowded, but you did great capturing the ducks . . Very sharp and fine detail of the feathers . .
Very well composed . .
You may set BG a bit blurred, so the ducks will be focus and stands out from the surrounding . .
I like this picture . .
Well done my friend . .

Tfs,
TJutjut

Dear Martyn,
yes, very beautiful reflections you took.
I especially like the swinging ripples, this wavy image on the water surface is superb!
and shining reflected light make ducks so pretty.
thank you,
Akihisa

Hi Martyn,
the reflection and lighting are quite stunning but perhaps a bit harsh on the eyes.
Great colours and detail on the ducks
cheers

A beautiful image with great clarity and detail. I do however agree that the background is a little busy and may benefit from a softer focus or perhaps a slightly tighter crop at the top of the photo? Anyway still beautiful! Well done!

Hi Martyn, fanastic reflections in this shot, well seen and captured!
Cheers,
Les
