Feeding Snowy Egret2

Another of my trained Snowy Egrets (Patti).
Applied gradient in ACR. I know that the deep blue, etc. is not realistic, and reflections don't change colors like this, but I thought it looked cool.
comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill

Lovely pose and nice color of water you have achieved

Bill, Beautiful water color and wing details. I like the pose and the effects applied. Maybe a bit more off-centered.Nicely done.
Nice image and application, Bill.
I would consider cropping the top slightly to center vertical, as image does not appear to allow offcenter placement as shot. But ...
Your image ... your vision.
Bill, great pose. I like the Topaz Clean on this image - it compliments the water.

Hi Bill, Great pose and nice detail in the bird and water. I like the water color, though I might lighten the reflection just a tiny bit.
Like the pose and the water color. It just "feels" like the reflection should be brighter on the water. Nice work.
Thanks for the comments. Upon further reflection, with you guys' help of course, I think the problem with the images reflection is that although the gradient application did create the deep blue, which seems OK, it also darkened the shadows way too much, which IMO screws thing up. regards~Bill
