Love the monochromatic look and subtle sepia tones, very peaceful mood that's wonderful Carolyn.
Simple & effective, just what the doctor ordered :wink:
I especially like the waterbirds position in the FG, and its 'extra' long wake.
Very nice :toast:

Gorgeous tone to the sky/reflection! I like your placement of the horizon, the tree reflections and the duck and it's wake fill the bottom of the image nicely. A nicely conceived image Carolyn.

Beautiful mood you captured here, Carolyn! The tones and reflection look wonderful and the foreground duck (I guess) really adds a nice touch to this scene. Nice work! :smile:

This positively glows! I bet it would look great on metallic paper.

"Critterscapes" (landscapes with wildlife) are my favorite scenes, but they are often difficult to pull off because of a critter that's tool small, or a dull landscape. Your treatment of the landscape here shines, and the wake of the mallard effectively makes it occupy a significant part of the foreground. Well done!

This is wonderfully warm and minimalist with the duck and it's wake the perfect foreground. Great seeing!

A really nice clean scene (took me a while to see the "man" part). I think you could boost the colors a touch more and I would also explore B&W for this shot which has a nice feel to it

I really like this one Carolyn. The calm and peaceful mood here is exceptional. Nice colors and backlighting as well.
