Simple and well executed Bill. One of my favorites of yours.:) The gradient BG is super.

[Cheryl Slechta]

Bill, I like the simplicity and the way the gradient bg echoes the colors in the bill and feet. He seems to be looking at you instead of the water:)

[Patti Edens]

This is a beautiful image Bill! I love that soft layered background and sharply focused bird. Also love the behavior captured.

[Michael Zajac]

Super! Bill, I like the way the slight slit in the water looks and the processing.

[Kerry Perkins]

Fantastic Bill, I love it! I love your high key style and the very appealing color palette. The bg colors compliment the skimmer very nicely. I would suggest sharpening the eye just a bit. Good show!

[Mark Fuge]

Nice image and application, Bill.

Like the subtle Frac and the colors of this.

[Indranil Sircar]

This is excellent, Bill. Great base image and your use of filters makes this a standout one.

[WIlliam Maroldo]

Thanks, I'm glad you'all liked it! Kerry, in agreement about the eye. regards~Bill

Beautiful Bill! Really nice background with pleasing colors and perfect effect on the bird and water, almost like a watercolor.

[Christopher Miller]

Excellent work, Bill! The pose is awesome and I love the soft colors. Very well done.

Hey Bill, I just love the creamy yellows and the sharpness. My only wish would be that the wings were fully raised. All in all, excellent.
