I like how some of the color in the water is the same as the color of his eye.

The reflections are best in this picture! I think those yellow tones are very attractive in the water.

This handsome duck is so beautifully set off on top of her own reflection...
The water colors are superb 'fall' colors. Glad you had your trained upon this little lovely.

@Pawn: Hallo, Pawn ! Ich glaube, daß die Reiherente sowieso nicht gut schmeckt. Hoffentlich bringt meine Ente den Menüplan nicht durcheinander ! Schöne Grüße und Mahlzeit, Sonja !
