    Love it! Wonderful tones and detail, perfect background for this young mallard with the water swirling in the foreground. Beautiful capture, Yves, it would certainly show well in a gallery.

    Wow, I love this shot Yves. Lovely composition, colours and lighting. This one should be on your 2024 wall of achievements.

    I love the ripples in the water, implying movement, and the water lily pads in the background give nice texture. Nice job.
