Judy, the lighting in the clouds is beautiful and I like the texture that you used. I'm undecided about the bird (GBH or woodstork?). I think I would like him better if he were not pointed straight up but was aimed more toward the RH corner or maybe was a little smaller but I imagine from your title that he is exactly where you intended which is fine. (I like your sig)

Thanks Cheryl. I can see your point about the position of the bird but it looks OK to me like it is. I never thought about tilting it. It is a heron. It was dark gray all over in the original image and I made it black in Lightroom.
