    The reflection is totally smokin! The headturn and calm water are awesome. Would go a bit lighter here and boost the midtonecontrast a tiny bit. Gorgeous shot all round!

    Just a little bit of levels adjustment really makes this image pop! You did a wonderful job creating this image, the composition is very pleasing and the water is gorgeous.

    What a great reflection. I an partial to the darker version, but one in between
    the two might be just right for my tastes.

    Haim

    you have a lovely image here....

    ......Imo this is one of those shots that would be perfect for breaking all the rules and placing the subject more towards the centre.....I wud have liked equal head room between between top and reflection...and back of grebe not so close to Rhs....

    I agree with Jim about adjustment

    Hi Haim Ziv,
    I also have an iMac (which I understand has a high luminance.) The repost does look light on my monitor as well.

    This is a gorgeous image.

    Default I Don't Totally Agree With Blake

    The re-worked image looks too hot overall for my tastes. Haveing shot lots in early / late light, things just aren't this bright in reality typically.

    Somewhere slighlty less hot, but brighter than the original would work well for my eyes.

    Overall, I love the image :)

    The ORIG post is jpretty much a perfect photograph. Light, total REFL, and head angle. Maybe a tad lighter, just a tad. (I like my stuff on the dark side). My favorite part: the greenish yellow at the base of the bill; is that part of the bill or is it feathers?

    Very nice capture Haim and beautiful reflection. The repost is too bright on my PC monitor - something in between should be spot on!!
