Hi Bob

Sure have some nice light on that bird, well exposed and some detail. Would have been best if it was not flying away from you and might deasaturate the water a bit. I sort of like the look and feel but doesn't look realistic.

Also like the framing giving room for the bird to fly into !!!

Hi Bob, Agree with Al on all points covered

[Lance Peters]

Hi Bob - AL pretty much nailed it!! - Agree the water looks a tad unrealistic.
Looking forward to seeing more :)

Thanks for the sat suggestion. Is this repost better?
