I guess this is a youngster hence a bit scruffy, I was wondering on whether I should keep the leaves.

Cheers

Lovely light Tim - the leaves do tend to draw the eye - but I don't think they detract from the picture too much.

HI Tim.
Very nice shot, I don't think the leaves detract from the picture but do give it an autumnal feel.

Hi Tim,
Good to see you posting again.
Nice Wigeon shot and I like the square format.
I would leave the leaves as they are,way too much bother cloning them out.

Attractive portrait, Tim. Except for the isolated one in the f/g, I like the leaves and think that they enhance the image.

Nah keep the leaves they are fine, I might try a crop to just below the main reflection though, not sure if the added repeated head reflections are adding anything... just a thought.

Hello Tim

Nice image. I like the leaves as they are.

I'm all for cropping the image under the first head reflection as per Phil H's suggestion though.

Hi Tim

Nice image. I would keep the leaves but maybe clone out some of the smaller 'blobs' on the water for a cleaner look. The leaves are attractive and add to the composition for me.

I also think a crop from the bottom to remove the 2nd reflection helps.

cheers

Hi Tim

What a lovely shot, I find this clear, sharp with good light, I like it alot
The leaves don't distract me, I think it adds to the scene and gives it a seasonal image :toast: :toast: :toast:
