Time for another picture of ducks, I think. Just before they all flew away, the number of ducks floating near the dock grew to…quite a large number, and I managed to capture three of them in one frame.

I applied almost exactly the same edits to this photo as I did to the previous duck picture, right down to the use of the Vivid preset.
However, unlike in that picture, I didn’t ratchet the Clarity all the way to +100 — in fact, I did exactly the opposite, dropping it back to -100 and giving the image a more diffuse feel. I don’t know what possessed me to try that, but it worked out; the picture looks just that much better for it (and the diffusion, mercifully, didn’t obscure some of the finer details of the ducks’ feathers). I’m really beginning to love how that feature of Lightroom 2 works.
A bit of highlight recovery rounded out the edits, along with some work to reduce chromatic aberrations.
I like the formation these three fellows are in, as though they all departed a common point at different angles.
