Nice colors in the left half of the water. It might have been worth waiting for the bird to get completely into the colored area rather than split the two zones.

I wish the bird were swimming toward rather than away from you. Did you do some cloning or some other work right below the tail area in the reflection? Something funky there, but it should be easy to patch.

The head angle could be better, and the image needs a CCW rotation. The head-on side lighting from left to right works well here.

Interesting image. I agree with previous comments. This could have been spectacular if the bird was completely in the brightly colored water.

Hey Harry, a treat to have you here. Most everything has been covered, but I want to express my happiness at your participation :)

You going to Alli Farm this year?

We have a modest first BPN get together on May 3rd.

Its a pleasue to be able to participate a bit. I expect to hit the Farm once a week once the action starts to heat up.

I have a conflict on 5/3 but I'm trying to clear the date.
