Hi Bruce ~ After experimenting with this image a bit more, I think it may have worked better if I'd only been closer or had a further reach with my lens. But I find that cropping that closely brings too much graininess into play. I can smooth the grain out a bit but that also removes some of the detail. I understand what Joe is thinking about making the two ducks the main feature but my first intent is having them be a part of our small koi pond and the rock features.

This has been a fun exercise of what can be done with an image!

Thank you for your thoughts!
