Hi Again Peter, You may post only one image at a time unless you are posting a similar for educational purposes. I deleted the weaker image. Feel free to post it in two days. This one is a nice improvement over your two previous. SH, EXP, and the splash are all good. BTW, to foster a sense of community here we ask that folks post comments to the images of five others each time that they post an image. Nothing fancy is required: what you like or do not like and tell us why.

Love the water line here; it might need a bit of CCW rotation. The o-o-f reeds (??--the yellow shapes) to our right of the splash are mildly distracting.

Peter:

My first thought, before reading Artie's comment was, that this one was the best of the series, rather interesting because of the drop off and splash. Much cleaner than the prev. images.
You could lightly burn in the brown areas Artie mentioned, which should make them less noticeable.

I might consider burning in the top of the bill just a bit, as it seems a bit light, but overall, your best post so far.

Keep them coming.

Randy
