Love that last light with that golden champagne water and really nice details in your subject. I also really appreciate the 'whites' in the bird are still very much white and have not taken on an unnatural colour cast which sometimes happens at last light. I struggle with WB adjustments sometimes at golden hour.
Thanks for looking,

Another beauty, Lynn! The warm light reflected in the water is wonderful and is the petfect backdrop to showcase this handsome shoveler. Excellent work!

The beautiful light has covered this drake so well and has created a nice warm soft feel to this image. Great water color and I too like the drops on the nape.
Well done Lynn
