That's a great shot. I can't believe people eat these things.

I wouldn't worry about the water. It's a natural setting and tells it's own story.

lovely picture. if you really wanted to do something with the water try selective colour , i saw somebody do it in a similar situation leaving only the duck in colour . It would take a little bit of time i guess. Ill finish with saying that i love the picture as it is though :)

[jpalmer]

cheers david yes that would work and as u said bit of time but the more i look at at the better it is . many thanks
