 I captured this Mallard Drake in the late evening light. I like the hint of habitat in the background. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop and Lightzone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Good light and well composed, Jerry. One might nitpick that the subject needs a hair of CW leveling, however this is a very good example of making use of the BG to gauge the "horizon" which works well with your framing.

Lovely, Jerry.  Beautiful light and reflections in the water.  I like the bg reeds, But I think you could crop some of the oof foreground.
