    One from the Lagoon at Ft Desoto - just gives me nice memories of lying in warm water given our current weather!

    Good low angle, and I love the water action. I do feel the contrast is a touch strong. I'd take Florida, even with what they consider cold this year, at this time as well!

    Hi Mike, love your low perspective here, and I like the 'blowing bubbles' behaviour. The two tone BG works well, and just enough space at the bottom for the virtual legs.

    You can pop over here to SA Mike - average temps 34 deg C every day to warm you up.

    That is nice and low. Nice colors on the bird and the background. Love the splashing water. I would prefer more room below on this one and less above. Give a bit more room for those legs. Bird looks slightly over sharpened on my screen but I expect that that is due to learning the new posting sizes.
