I like the look on their faces, but don't care for the outfits they are wearing.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments and since this was my first challenge I feel very encouraged and ready to join in again.

To all who let me know this was a drake, yes I knew... But Cherry Prince didn't sound right...
I also had a duck who decided to close his eyes just when he was exactly where I wanted him to be. No easy feat since I was chasing his little DA to get the shot. This is why I could not get any detail on the ducks head.

Not much done to the picture, cropped out some branches, added some saturation, and dodged and burned the wake.

I normally hate duck shots, but the framing is awesome and catching the ripples is nice. 7.

Excellent use of the cherry blossoms to make this more than the usual duck image.
