 My first entry starting from RAW. Took a while, but I finally tried shooting RAW, and like it! A little white balance adjustment, contrast, exposure changes. Tiny clone on one ducky at the waterline. Crop. Sharpen. That's all.

Props: My black teeshirt to the rescue again for the background. Rimmed cookie sheet with mirror inserted, some tiny novelty mirrors added, water, flowers from the garden, and the main characters, of course. I had the king, and the same store had the queen ready for me when I went there Friday.

Nice composition & lighting. I think you could have added impact by making direct eye contact either with each other or into the camera lens
