Very nice mist and warm lighting, and the sun glare on the water is a nice addition. I like this as a pan, but I might crop a bit more of the empty space.

Lovely image, Carol. The many shades of brown, the fog above the water, the sun's reflection and the birds nicely strung out but separated so as not to be lost in the sun's reflection are all very attractive characteristics. :toast:

The mist rising up through that gorgeous morning light with the ducks swimming through the scene is lovely.

Well done.

Sweet composition, Carol. The light and mist are very nice. I think this might work a bit better with some cropped off the top to decenter the line of geese. :toast:
