Wonderfully peaceful image Rob - and very good work on the techs, these bills tend to get overexposed if you don't pay attention ! Great work

Hi Rob,

The composition with dark duck and reflection on smooth water makes a very pleasing image. Well done

Rob if it's not perfect it can't be far off, excellent.

Super low angle and detail Rob, I wish for a bit more room on bottom to include the whole reflection but not a big deal. Beautiful lighting as well.

Spectacular image Rob! Love the gradient water color in this...it really compliments the duck...and of course the POV is excellent as well.

Jerry called it creamy, dreamy and perfect. I can't agree more. He expressed what I felt when I first saw the image. Great work.
