On a cross-country RV trip we camped in Lake Tahoe, CA for a week. The first day we arrived we went to the beach to admire the lake. It was out of season (early June and very chilly) so there were not many people around. My son was to my right closer to the water taking his own pictures as I waited for the flock of ducks to come into frame. The duck in front closest to the shore noticed my son and, as I took the shot, turned to face him.

Standard Photoshop filters were used to adjust exposure and sharpening. I used the curves function for color and contrast adjustment.
