Duck Soup

Adjusted color and contrast, but applied no filters or effects. The reflections and ripples of the water at San Antonio's River Walk were amazing. Canon EOS Elan 7E.

Very colorful. An interesting effect. #22196Patricia Marroquin May 26, 2019
Thanks Lem. I could stand there and watch that water all day. The colorful buildings and outdoor umbrellas created neat effects in the water. Appreciate your comment. #51799Mette Vendelboe Allison May 26, 2019
Love all the different colours in the water! #51801Cees F. De With May 26, 2019
Whow!! What a neat shot Patricia! Marvelous colours and reflection, you have a good eye for those details!Carolyn M. Fletcher May 26, 2019
Oh, wow! Beautiful, vibrant colors and then a duck, too! Great shot!! #51848Joy Brown May 26, 2019
Love this, Patricia! #51854Gail Stelick May 26, 2019
Very nice shot ... love the colors :) #51866Patricia Marroquin May 26, 2019
Thank you Mette, Cees, Carolyn, Joy and Gail. It's neat that I didn't have to use PS Elements to create these colored ripples. Though I have been known to use PS to create such effects. :-) #51921Wolfgang Dolak May 26, 2019
Great photo, Patricia. As the duck is sharp enough the ripples are not distracting.Patricia Marroquin May 26, 2019
Thanks, Birdie. In the small version of the photo, he does seem to blend in with the water. I'm glad he came out sharper. #51986Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019
