I posted version 1 of this image a couple of weeks ago. This is an egret photographed near my house at the end of the day. Although I usually prefer environmental backgrounds, in this case I attempted to make the background somewhat painting-like. I was not satisfied with it but needed feedback and so I posted to see what others would say. There was universal agreement that the background needed work but I was pleased to get some positive comments on the overall attempt. Gail Bisson's comment about the BG being Monet-like may have been overly kind but it did inspire me to try again as the basic idea was coming across. Anyway, here is my most recent attempt. Comments appreciated!
