On Golden Pond

Thought the Lesser Scaup Drake looked pretty regal on the golden water. Processed in Photoshop CS3, Noise reduction using Neatimage and final tweaking using Lightzone.

Very cool, wonderful water color reflections and the lower perspective make this shot for me. Nice detail and the yellow eye adds to the image. You could even take some more off the top to lessen the out of focus area but still a very nice shot, well done.
