Yes, better. The wing feathers look better, and the color of the water is better. Could use a little bit of contrast boost, may be.

[Harold Davis]

love the repost, dave!! a major improvement.

Hi Dave,
I like the pano composition. The image is a little under exposed and the eye a tad fuzzy. See if this works better for you...:cool:

[Harold Davis]

nice work, gus!!! looks awesome! now humor me for a second. would that bg not look better the same color as the water? i was gonna work on it and try it myself, but got too busy.

Hi Dave, you have a beautiful image here, I love the colors in the back feathers and perhaps just a little more light on your repost---oh, and great job on the low perspective. I'm finding that more difficult than one might imagine.

[Gus Cobos]

Doctor,
You need that contrasting two tone in the background, to make the duck stand out...:cool:

[Lance Peters]

repost works better for me - good work gus.
