I know, could there be anything more common than a pair of Mallards in a pond. Well, the light and the cattail reflections of these images do evoke impressionist memories of a visit to another pond in the small town of Giverny near Paris. I'm always a succor for reflections and these were kind of special. It seems like we usually critique landscapes in this forum, but how about some critters in the landscape.

it has a nice feel to it geroge, and really, for me, i like looking at green becuuse 8 months out of the year i see brown and it wont be long now until there are no ducks and certainly very little open water!

I have only one problem with this...the composition is top heavy. Other than that....its awesome..colors are nice....subject is sharp.

Hey George,

Great photo. I really like the colors and crispness of it. With shots like these, I often find that the background is more of a distraction than a plus. In this case, the patterns do a nice job of enhancing the over-all photograph by producing a nice wallpaper for the ducks. Well done.

Can you tell me what you mean by top heavy?
