Default Autumn Mallards

My first day off in a while so I thought I would play with my burning kit.

Wowzer Susan! I love it!!!
The overall composition is right on and the foreground mallard rising out of the water it brilliant. The reflection and droplets landing back into the water is perfect. Great to see this is a pattern right? Someone will want this one forsure...hummmm This would make a terrific relief too.
Great to see you back sharing your work with us. Glad you have some time to visit more often...you have been missed girl.

Susan, that is just awesome! So much detail, it looks like an old 1890's snap shot.

I wish I could inject some of your talent, artistic eye and skill into my own work! But until I can arrange for a transfusion....I'll keep practicing. Well done.

Bob

Susan,
Ditto! Every word everybody said! Especially about missing you! I think I've read (and hung on) every word you've written on here since the day I found this Forum! When I find a good teacher I listen!
