Found this female Hooded Merganser while looking for larger fare. I liked the way the reflections danced on the water. Processed using Lightroom CC (2015) and Photoshop CC (2017) along with Light Craft's LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

This image needs to be viewed large to appreciate the details in the Merganser and that lovely mix of reflections, Jerry. The combination of warm golds and chilly blues in the reflections works great.

Your usual beautiful water reflections and textures, Jerry.  The merganser is a nice focal point.
