Thank you very much, Janine, Sherry, Lynne, and Cary, for your wonderful comments on this image! Autumn is my favorite season to take photos outside, so my eyes are always hungry for those beautiful colorful autumn leaves and their reflections in the water.
I am really glad you liked this photo! Thank you once again!

The colors are nice. The subject's detail and placement are lacking, though. The eye isn't distinctive enough and there should be more water before the mallard than behind him. Congrats on the finalist award. #3719429
