Hi Suzanne, and welcome. This is nicely done. I like the water coming off the bill and the reflection. The image needs a good bit of CW rotation. Use the Ruler tool to draw a line through the centers of the concentric circles and then hit Image/Rotate/Arbitrary.
Thanks BTW for your membership support!
