This is in the metro-parks in Rocky River Ohio. The water is covered in algae and I was essentially shooting into the sun which makes the algae and water look white. I got lucky that the duck was flying by and grabbed the sunlight very well. The Sony shoots a little noisy even at 200 iso but oh-well. I skewed the image since my crop wasn't exactly as I liked, cloned out some debris around the leaf in the background, used Shadow/Highlight, Hue/Saturation, curves …save for Web. Couldn't decide on 1 title!

harshing lighting will get ya every time, assuming this wasn't the effect you were going for in the camera. I thiink if the colors were good, the slugg green on the lake was green it would had a better effect for me.........4
wo wo wo....way way blown out. the leaves in the front give the image a snapshot kind of feel and the lack of detail due to the blown out highlights make this shot an overall one imho
Getting a lower angle would raise the leaves up into the sky and framethe photo better. Like the setting, hope its close by lots of good photos waiting to be taken there.
