Since today was bright and sunny :(:(:( I was able to create a gallery of images I posted on BPN on my website.
Also, for Dave who likes Green Herons, a bunch of Green heron images I haven't posted along with a few I have.

Bill, I really like what you did here. The fractalius is subtle yet effective. Very nice work. I like your composition for this.
I went on your BPN Gallery and I recognized alot of the images. Very nice work and a fantastic collection! The Young Clapper did not load for me-not sure why.

Nice image and application, Bill.

Like the use of filters without major change to the image. Just enough to keep it recognizable. Not that change is a problem, just that your's worked as is.

Bill - great image! And thanks for the work flow - easy to follow (I like and need that:o)

Bill, You actually made this bird beautiful. Not an easy task!
