    HI
    Usually a tough species, except for one place here in Vancouver :-)

    Got this a couple of hours ago.

    I cloned out a huge black area in the BG

    Great angle, details and water color. It just needs a bit CW rotation.

    Great color overall. Beautiful photograph of this colorful duck.

    Axel, I'm trying to figure out why you are recommending CW rotation of this image. On my monitor, the "waterline" on the duck is almost perfectly level. Am I missing something?

    God bless.....Dick

    If you look at the blue concentric ripples you can see that the duck is swimming slightly 'uphill'. It's not much, though. Maybe it's an optical illusion and I'm just plain wrong. :)

    C and W, my most hated letters in internet forums....but I guess you are right...I find it always so difficult to tell and when it looks "good enough" to me, I just leave it like I took it :)

    That made me laugh. :) If I remember correctly, it's not the first time I used those two dreaded letters. :)

    Hi Jan,
    Ever so slight CW...but you know if you have already printed this beauty, a slight rotation in the mat would "fix" this. It's a gorgeous image. Peaceful to look at.

    A beautuful image Jan of this lovely Teal - the warm tones are very appealing and I like the composition the way it is.

    I fully agree with Axel. Hate it or not this needs a bit of rotation for sure. Just take a simple ruler and measure it.
    Anyway a very nice image and the sign of the spring is obvious when looking at the half erected crest. :)
