Skip,
Love the water swirls again with the MRS's. Beautiful exposure. Personal preference but you might want to crop slightly off the bottom and maybe add a little bit to the left side. You might consider burning that bright spot in the upper right corner. Love to shoot with soon Skip. Let me know when you are available!

Well exposed with good detail and lovely water action. This is well framed, but I would personally like to see less room on the bottom and more on the top. :smile:

Really nice look and feel to the water, wonderful light. Fantastic feather detail. I perhaps might brighten the eye just a touch to draw in your attention more.

A pretty lady indeed. Nice light and detail. With more snow coming I think I need to move closer to that bench. :biggrin:

Very nice shot of this beauty. I agree with Phil on the cropping.

Excellent, Skip. I love the water quality and the duck is perfectly captured.
