And as Raymond suggested in B/W.

I think you have a much stronger image now. I feel that your cleaning up the "half birds" works well and I find that your second version is the better of the two. There is still a touch of green left, especially at the top right edge.

As for B&W versus colour; I personally prefer the almost monochrome look of the colour version,

If it were my image I might be tempted to see if a very light vignette might not further strengthen the image. It should be almost imperceptible, but just enough to move the viewer's eyes away from the edges of the image.

This is what I was getting at regarding the vignette.

Hello Barbara
I almost fully agree with Manfred - I am not so sure about the vignette, but that is a personal preference.

The cropped image is an improvement. Love the duck.
