 I had some fun watching these three nervous mallards drifting down the river. I'm hoping this year I'll also be able to spot some wood ducks...

As far as post processing goes:
Crop
Levels
Shadows/Highlights
Brightness/Contrast
Reduce Noise
Dodge and Burn

Like always, I try not to over do the editing. However, any tips would be GREATLY appreciated!

Nicely done. Your processing has only added to its impact. I'm wishing that you had omitted the border though, since it's rather distracting to me. Maybe a thinner one?

Funny, one of my thoughts for his challenge was also some ducks :)
Nice capture. I'm a bit surprised you decided to crop it so tight. I think I would have preferred seeing the lake extend further into the background.
