 Duck at a local pond. Tried to get some swimming images but they stayed too far away. Got 5-6 images when the walked up on the land. 200mm zoom

The desat was really needed as the brown grass and brown feathers merged.

I really like the details you captured, but am not a fan of the selective desaturation here. It takes a beautiful natural scene and gives it a fake feel.

Not a fan of selective desaturation usually, but the duck is so cute with great focus and clarity that I will overlook it.
