Same idea as with the Tufted Titmouse earlier but this time the main subject was left as the original. The colorful water was a result of the reflection of the bridge structure.
Thanks for looking.

Hi Karl

That's a great way to spice up the water! It gives the picture an unusual, painted look. In the larger version it shows some noise0- don't know if that was intended-could easily be interpreted as "texture" too.
The duck almost looks like it is smiling! :).

I think the duck is a real beauty with its long split tail, and the reflection of the bridge structure was beautifully captured in the water. I agree with your decision to leave the entire duck original, because the textured water sets it off beautifully. Nice work, Karl.

Isn't it wonderful what a difference a touch of texture can introduce to a scene! Nicely done Karl.
