Love it! Wonderful tones and detail, perfect background for this young mallard with the water swirling in the foreground. Beautiful capture, Yves, it would certainly show well in a gallery.

Wow, I love this shot Yves. Lovely composition, colours and lighting. This one should be on your 2024 wall of achievements.

Thank you very much Debra. Here is a secret. This year I may try to find a galery that would accept to expose my best shots. A dream I will try to realise this year. Wish me the best.

That would certainly be a dream come true. Your images reflect your skills and confidence Yves. All the best this year in all that you do.

I love the ripples in the water, implying movement, and the water lily pads in the background give nice texture. Nice job.
