THE IMAGE: Taken at Queen's Park. Shot at the 200mm end of a 70-200 f2.8 Sigma lens. I like the water in this. Not happy with the composition as I would have preferred the duck more to the left...I reckon it might get picked on for this.
EDIT: Levels, saturation, a neat image layer with masking to select the intensity of the noise reduction, some colour balance settings, cloned out some dust particles in the water, some d and b and some USM...not in that order...I work instinctively. Might be a bit too much green in this for some...
PREDICTION: There are many entries in this challenge, so I reckon about 6.2??? It might surprise me either way...
POST: I guess my predictoin was close in a great high scoring challenge. Well done everyone. The saturation wasn't far off what you see here. The trees were reflecting in the water beautifully and the light was lovely in the morning...thanks everyone

Very abstract water but overwhelming in patterns and color for the poor duck. I think for this challenge I would prefer to see more duck and less water. You have detail on him and the duck's reflection is particularly clear, but it's not quite enough for me to get past the water (which is the color of my car's antifreeze, now that I look at it some more).
