Great Egret

This is an older photo but I always liked it and others in the series. I hope the head angle is correct ;) I used Pixel Bender and Topaz adjust and Topaz Clean on it and upped the saturation as it was overcast and not much color in the water.

Beautiful painterly look to this. The soft colors are appealing. I like the composition and the results of the effect. Nicely done.

Thanks Denise!

I too like the painterly feel here. I think the water looks very nice, your effort has paid off very nicely.

Ditto for me. I love the color of the water and the Egret is painted beautifully. I also like the composition.

Agree with other comments and add that I like the graphic lines in the background from the water which adds greatly to the composition in my view.

Lovely painting Judy, I like it a lot. Nice bright image with pleasing colors and I love the effect on the foliage at the bottom of the frame.
