    Beautiful composite, Mitch. I like how all the elements have come together. The warm color of the dawn and the reflection is superb... excellent use of flood and simplify!

    Hi, Mitch, I love the colors in the sunset and Flood effect but I especially love the Topaz Simplify effect on the trees. I think I would eliminate the one straight trunk in the middle of the image to the left of the sun - it is getting in the way of the leaning trunk right beside it.

    MItch, beautiful colors and tone...if it were mine, I soften the reflection a bit and perhaps add a bit of texture...not sure....the reflections of the lighthouse and the osprey, at least to my eye, seem to compete to much for your interest in what is, overall, a very pleasing image.

    Mitch, I am loving the colors and effects you applied! I might evict the Osprey as it seems a bit busy to me but it's your vision that counts.

    An interesting and different image. I love the colors and the reflections. The trees also. Is this a composite in which you added the Osprey?

    Anita,

    Yes, this is a composite. The Lighthouse was from an old kodachrome slide taken about 25-30 years ago in Lake Michigan (Beaver Island). The Sunrise is about 3 months old taken at Ft Desoto Park in Florida, and the Osprey was a few weeks ago down at the beach about a mile from where I live in NY.

    Thanks for your reply

    Mitch

    Denise,

    You are right, things don't lay out well. I reposted a modified image. Don't know if it is any better. I reduced the size of the Osprey, and increased the size of the lighthouse...

    Wow. I'm impressed by the combination of so many images--something I've never tried.

    I think I prefer the OP or maybe something in between.
