L'il Blue at Fort DeSoto

Applied some Topaz and Nik Viveza II on this one....

Nice image and application, Michael.

Won't negate you on the H.A.! ;)

Nice reflection and color.

Michael, I brought this into LR2 and it needs a rotation. If you line up the eyeball to the eyeball in the reflection you can get it level. I love the intense colors and the catch. It seems a bit tight in the frame to me. Beautiful feather detail.

Michael, the feather detail is wonderful.

Love the feather detail and the colours on the heron. Also like the refracted light in the FG. Just would wish for cleaner water in the BG. Nice to meet you the other day, and saw your osprey post with the stick which was awesome.

Sweet! Love the intense colors and the beautiful softened reflection. Agree with Denise that it feels a bit tight - especially at the top of the frame. Another 1/2" would make a nice addition IMO.

here's the image reprocessed with more room on the top;

It's beautiful Michael. The colors are outstanding!:)

Perfection! ;)
