Beautiful tranquil shots.. I think I would be tempted to crop a little more from foreground in the first..nice work!

Nice shots- very nice colors, rich. A duck center right in the first shot seems to have something wierd going on with it. You were there at the right time though.

Thanks for the replies, everybody! :mrgreen:

Yeah, I don't know what happened to him. I didn't do any cloning, or anything to edit him. Maybe he's a ghost duck? But seriously, I can't figure out how that could have happened.

Hmm I did some cropping on the second and third one, and I tweaked some stuff in them all - temperature, saturation, things like that.

Thanks again for the comments and compliments! :albino:

Nice shots. I might go back and try them again but focus manually.

Hmm maybe! One of the joys of living on Long island is that you can't go anywhere without dealing with traffic, so having a lake close by means I tend to go there a lot for shots. :mrgreen:
