Eclipse

Remask, Simplify & Flood...

Pretty trippy......
Very cool and the birds in your photos are always sharp and well done.
I think the bright edges of the upper sun would look nice toned down a bit.

Beautiful presentation. I like the rays coming off the sun and the pose of the egret. Nice work.

Very interesting with the reverse duplication of the egret and its graceful lines! Awesome colors and composition in the bkgd. The rays from the sun are a nice addition to the lines of the egret. In relation to the sun comment by Gary, I find trying to tone down bright whites generally introduces a grayish tone. Anybody have a good approach to this?

Yes, very nice the way the egret is flipped instead of completely reflected. I had to look at it a minute and scratch my head.

The sun looks like it's burning out from the image -- hard to achieve the look of that much tonal range. I think the slight yellow outline glow is contributing to that look -- well done!

Mitch,

Greetings. Very fanciful image. I particularly like the dance like pose of the egret & the brilliant sun (I like how bright it is). The framing of the whites of the egret against the dark clouds and the black legs & beak against the brighter sky is outstanding composition. Good show!

Cheers,
