    Not much in special processing. SEP toning, Luminosity blend back color, Topaz Adjust for final touch tonal adjustment and saturation.

    Thanks for looking.

    Cheers,

    Great capture of the flying water! I like that it is placed against that softly blurred bkgd so it is not mixed with the white highlights on the water. I would suggest cropping in from the left to put more emphasis on the flying water to the right. Also consider removing that one green spot close to the top and maybe that thicker area of white water in the top right. I love seeing the droplet designs captured by the camera that cannot be seen with the eye.

    A fun photo! Like Nancy, I love seeing the path of the water droplets. They create a pleasing S. Especially nice that the water drop line connects to the beak/bill. Nice action shot. The blurred bg is effective. I agree with Nancy's suggestions.

    Love the water droplets in the air, a neat capture! I also agree with the comments above about cropping and removing the green spot.

    I agree with Nancy's comments. The distance traversed by the droplets is impressive.

    Nancy, Anita, Hazel, Judy. Gary, Diane,

    Thanks much for the comments. They are much appreciated. Yes, on the green dot and bright reflection upper right (though there is a part of me that likes the green dot ;-) The disorganized spray extends even more to the left and I'm ambivalent about cropping more and losing the full, er, sweep of the spray.

    Cheers,

    -Michael-
