Hi Tono. I say, you are really good at this! About the only thing I might try is to crop about 20% off the top, not becaues it is an issue but rather to see if the duck would look any better if it were a little higher in the image space.

Thanks Frank!

Now, the cropped version as per your request

Neat Tono. I like it, but the most important question is do 'you like it'?

[acsky]

On the cropped version I like the duck looks becomes more relevant, but I like the bright tones on the top of the image...

Your suggestion was very good, as usual, but I think I prefer the "extended version".

In fact the duck was a little higher in the original image, but I cropped out some of the water with leaves debris on the surface.

I think I prefer the "extended version".

Considering other viewpoints expands your options, but in the end, knowing which option your prefer and why helps make you a better indvidual. Nice image, Tono. Thank you for posting!

I think I would also try cropping the right side a little. To me, at the moment, the reflection is 'overwhelming' the duck.

[acsky]

You mean something like this Geoff?

[Geoff F]

Along those lines, Tono, but I think I would return to your original then crop so the duck remained 'higher' in the overall scene; with a 2 x 1 ratio
