weekly Bosscat's 2013 52 challenge

[Crossroads]

I like that. Good composition and subject. The little guy looks so sad. "Why can't I get in the water?"

 

[puckers]

I really like this, very cute

 

[Dacmirc]

Cracking reflection shot there really like it! Rather dramatic with the duck looking at himself! Nothing more to add that hasnt been said already!

 

[Martin80]

Nice capture, really like the composition, reflection & DOF. Nice timing to catch him looking down like that.

Great capture of an musing moment. This would make a good caption competition. Seems to be well exposed with good detail (not always easy with all those reflections going on) If you cleaned up the dust spot behind his head it would improve it I feel. If you want to do that and don't know how CLICK HERE

Wonderful shot with the reflection perfect.

Cheers for the link Brian and everyone comments.

Ok Folks, slowly getting to grips with Lightroom.

Taken on board your comments and had a little play.

Prefer the colours in the first pic. Too much yellowing on the second. Great reflection, nice and sharp.

 

[Bosscat]

Yes, I think something's are best left alone. Me getting carried away with LR.

 

[Allan.H]

prefer the first one its a really nice pic and an unusual pose

 

[Donnie]

Great wild shot, prefer the original version to be honest as it's so clear and simple.

 

[nicholi]

first one is better and think its a lovley photo

 

[ChrisR]

Really nice Martyn. Only comment, not something you could do much about, but his head is at a slightly strange angle! I guess as you say he's looking down. Otherwise, great pic, and version 1 definitely better.

Hi MArtyn


cracking shot fo the Duck....made me laugh as he dioes seem to be staring at his reflection....original version works better...beautiful mirror effect to the ice & sharper thann a sharp thing on the reflection

 

[WMD]

Great shot that! Prefer the first one, looks much less 'played with'. As mentioned, a couple of seconds tidying the dust spots and you'd have a perfect shot there! Nice work!
