is that the original background?

@bearlyable.....yes it is ...I know why you may be think its not by the apparently bright area just beneath the lead duck ...but if you look at the reflection in the water you'll note that it follows the same contours...I can asure you that the only photo shop done to this was to darken the skyand basic color, cxontrast,brightness and highlight/shadow and pixal radiance adjustments in CS2...anything i upload that has been manipulated by adding something thats not in the origanal. is ALWAYS marked as a manipulation in catagories...ironicly its probably the only photo ive ever taken that should actually be photoshopped just to look like it wasnt...it is what its is I asure you... thanks for asking
