Bill, It's interesting and I have been looking at all the elements and thinking-I like this! I love the rip in the image, it really adds some age. I may have tried to clone the one pelican on the left and included the entire cormorant.
Very nice, Bill! I love all the birds and the reflection! Good color tones and the frame adds a lot to the old feel. I think the rip here works much better than the rip in your other "old" image.
Lovely toning and aging process, Bill! I agree with Denise - taking out the Pelican on the left, if possible, would make this even stronger. Love the old oval frame and the tear - very nice touches!
Bill, I really like the reflections and the toning. I also like the oval frame contrasting with the rectangle.
Agree with removing the pelican.

Thanks everyone. :oPretty much in agreement with removing the pelican, but that would require starting out with the base image, using Flood, and a bunch of steps that I didn't keep track of. I generally work with 2-3 "styles" in development, and know exactly what steps I did so I can reproduce it with other images. Action scripts come in real handy with this as well.
I tried cloning with this image, and it didn't work so well, mainly because of the reflections.:confused: Appreciate to feedback as always! regards~Bill
