Wholy Cow, awesome Bill! Does this look as good in a bigger file size? I like this as is but wonder what it would look like with a crop off the bottom and your sig in the upper right? Way to go!

Man this IS AWESOME! :)

excellent capture Bill.....so many of us miss shots like this.
Agree about some off the bottom....techs look excellent for the high action

Bill, Just beautiful! I love the high-key look and the effect that Topaz has on the splash and the birds-Very nice capture!!!A bit off the bottom for me also. Nicely presented.

Bill
This is incredible. It has enough of the filter to give it some pizazz and yet not too much to make it look unnatural. Oh......and the action is great. I'm for cropping a little off the bottom as well.

Really cool image Bill!

Bill this is a beautiful photograph. I love the action, detail, and the high key. Thought it had a bit of a blue colour cast to it, so I played around in PS with it.

wow, now that I see it with the blue cast removed.....even more dynamic.
Nice rework Jackie

Jackie, Nice job on the re-post, but I will say I enjoyed the coloring in the water.

Bill, this was a beautiful image to start with. I like the effect Topaz gives it.:)

I'll have to agree with Denise on the blue. It was due to the water color, and its reflection on the birds, not some sort of color shift. Thanks anyway, Jackie. regards~Bill
