I posted this in the photo blog (http://www.photography.ca/blog/?p=104) as well with the backstory if anyone is interested.

I also think this shot would work well in b/w or sepia...one day i'll convert them.

C&C appreciated.

Many thanks

I really like this capture Marko, the shot for me conveys a lot of maturity and feeling. I think it's a mixture of the way the 2 boys are sitting together, and the lighting/reflection and movement of the water.

Nice work! :)

Thanks TT and Kiddo,

Here's am alternate version. Which one do you like better?

Thx!

it is hard to choose, but i think #1 - a bit more contemplative.

but then again the circle wave created by the duck adds some interest. glad i am not a judge!

[Marko]

Thanks for those comments everyone!

I like them but find the two boys a tad to dark. I do prefer the second one, I think the boy leaning forward works well.

I agree. Some fill flash or a reflector would have worked well in this shot or even the dynamic range settings that some cameras have.
