This one is just for fun. The mallard was moving swiftly along the opposite bank where I was fishing and I snapped off a couple of shots. None of them were much good, but as I was looking at this one the reflection caught my eye. The angle allowed me to crop out the bankside vegetation (which was very distracting) but keep the reflection of some flowers just behind the duck's head. I thought it made an interesting composition.
I ran it through the color fade correction tool in Paint Shop Pro Photo, cloned out a few bits of distracting, over exposed reed in front of and above the duck's bill, sharpened it once and resized it so the lack of fine detail was not so noticeable.
When I saved it, I forgot to indicate that the EXIF data should be saved as well, so including it below.
