Hi, Mitch, I think I would prefer the blues to be a cooler tone - I tried a cooling filter in CC and liked it better. But as they say, it's your vision Maybe it'd be cool to have a star for the lighthouse light also.

This is very well done. The light is all coming from the right in every element. Also I like the light on the beaks and the legs which really make the heron stand out, and the overall mood is great.

Lovely! I think Cheryl has a good idea about the blues -- to compare, anyway. But maybe you already did.

What would you think about a slightly more random spacing on the stars?

Mitch, the heron is cool, but I would also like an image without it. The lighthouse, the details of the dark vegetation and the soft sky glow work so well together with the added stars. Those small star reflections are great.

Cheryl,

I added some blue, and I think that works better. I also gave some StarEffect to the Lighthouse lamp. While playing around, I decided to change the pose of the N.Heron to a different one from the series. Not sure the change is better or not. (different, and perhaps lighter with the N.Heron floating up)? I have not calibrated my screen in a while, so am not sure you are seeing the same colors I am.

Thanks for your comments.
