Nice PoV Steve - not too sure about the 'pea soup' though, can't decide if it detracts or not :confused:

Good sharp detail though :toast:

WOW look at all that weed.

Nice shot of the Duck, but a shalower DOF would of suited this better to throw off the BG and FG more.But it show's the weedy conditions so either way ?.

Can`t really agree with the other commentators. I think the interesting colours in the `pea-soup` make the picture more interesting. Works well as-posted, for me.

Hi Steve

I really like the 'weed covered' water which I feel makes for a much more interesting image!

Nice shot Steve. I'm another one who thinks the weed enhances the photo.

Very nice shot, Steve. I too think the weed makes a positive contibution to the image.
