I captured the golden hour on the gulf coast of florida. i liked how the white still showed somewhat in the clouds. the mama duck was swimming out to meet her family. see how the suns reflection in the water was right over one of the ducks? i didn't see that when I was shooting. its one of those moments when you look afterwards and smile. Hope you enjoy it!

You captured some really nice golden colors. A panorama format crop would work well to get rid of some of the empty sky and balance out the weight of the silhouettes.

Beautiful color! You've got some foreground interest in the ducks, but the left side of the photo is much more boring than the right side. I'd crop it down to 4x5 and remove the left 1/4, maybe just before the palm tree. Cheers!

Beautiful scene and view. Moody light gives a nice atmosphere here. These silhouettes are well capture here. I would like to suggets you to try to reduce a little this free space in up part of photo and due to the fact that there are some cutted branches on the right side of photo I would prefer to try to cropp a little right side of photo, however it is a matter of taste. Beside in my opinion this photo will be also works well cropped into a panorama format. Regards, Michal.

Thanks, Michal! Believe it or not, I've been struggling with trying to crop it. Like you said, pano format would look nice..however, the right side crop would look good too. i was sitting here with my hands up, covering this side or that lol. thanks for the kind words though!
