Thumb-up Thumb-up    from johngoyer/John (84,210) This user is a Premium Member Send mail to this user on October 19, 2007 4:16:11 PM CDT (2) Early critique

A beautiful scene John - great combination of the ducks and those wonderful maple leaves - I'd crop the top just a little to completely remove the upper left most clump of leaves - with that done you remove the two dark ovals near the top that distract me from the ducks (well, one's gone and the other is reduced in size...) - I would rather see more detail on the ducks, but I like the scene as is too - John

Hi, Jonh. That a beautifull composition. It is a pity that you could not more light to improve the exposure to hightligh more the maple leaves and the reflections and to open up more details behind the ducks. But nice shot. Thank you for sharing it. Sérgio.

Hi, Joyia. Many thanks, once again for taking the trouble to critique another of my shots. My Japanese friends seemed to like this one, too. It's a good time of year to be in this country - away from the crowded cities, there's a lot of beauty here. Thanks again. John
