[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 9051, member: 1573"] I do, too, and would work with this one. What software are you using for post-processing? 1. Try cropping out the bottom just below the reflection . . . you can try to bring out the reflection a little more which would add to the pic. You want your main subject to not be smack in the middle of the picture (unless you are specifically breaking the "rule of thirds" for artistic reasons) 2. The bright rock in the foreground detracts from the duck. If you want to keep the reflection, tone down the exposure on the rock (e..g. adjustment brush in lightroom) Otherwise crop it out (or photoshop it out). 3. Colors should be little more vibrant --try the tone curve and vibrance slider in lightroom if you're using it. 4. Sharpen and up the clarity. A lot can be done for this photo with the right post-processing. I think it's a great capture (I love ducks!) and is worth working it to your liking. Best Regards [/QUOTE]
