So very lovely. Once you jettison the economic overtones of gold and silver, and the attendant lust and perfidy they inspire, they're a terrific color combination. It can be said that there's copper in here as well but, what am I, a geologist? The pintails alone are handsome, but they also function as the charge that energizes the entirety of this harmonious scene. I like how the background floats, pardon the pun, in abstraction. This includes the ducks' reflections.
One of three personal favorites of the challenge. |
