I liked the patterns and colors of the reflected vegetation and Buffleheads are sure cute.

Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions are appreciated.

The water and reflections are glorious, Allen.  You had some wonderful light.  The bufflehead is nice too, thou she almost hides in the reflected vegetation.  An interesting variation of camouflage. 

Update:  I just got onto my good monitor, and the patterns and colors are even better than I thought, Allen.  Gorgeous image.

Fascinating effect with the patterns and colors.  I see the smaller image has more saturation than the larger image.   And in some ways I think I prefer the increased warmth and saturation from the smaller image due to the effect of the geometric reflections.

This would be a great image even without the duck. I'm sure it will fit into some weekly challenge!!! Amazing patterns and colors in the water.

A beautiful capture of the action of the water and reflections.  Ripples always draw me in and this is an exceptional example.

Great bufflehead image Allen, but really love the reflections in the water.
