    Default Geese at Sunset

    In camera blur, a bit of Topaz simplify, curves adjustment.

    Nice blur and definitely worth a try with that light and bg colors. These blurs are really addictive. I love the wings-up position with sharp head. I just wish the center one did not land which would have given separation with the shadow. TFS.

    I like this! The color on the water is beautiful and the reflection is a bonus. You got just the right amount of blur to my eye. The center bird touching his reflection doesn't bother me - I like the different levels the birds are flying. If it were mine, I would probably try to separate the upper left bird from the one right behind it - maybe by cloning in a little of the pink color between them.

    Nancy, very nice capture, the blurs and water color (almost looks like a gradient) are lovely...

    If it were mine, I find the image too busy with the flying birds and reflections...I'd use CS5 and clone out the reflections and straighten the black wave, this is just my personal taste...nothing more ... just try it and see how you like it

    Nancy, I really like this! I do think it could use a small bit of CW rotation as everything seems to be sloping to the left. I'd also challenge you to try cloning out a tiny bit of the front bird so it doesn't collide with the 2nd bird...the shadows are separate - I'd love to see a tiny bit of separation between those two birds in the top half as well.

    Beautiful colors! Very nice blur, too. The bird's bodies have nice detail while the wings got a great blur movement.

    Beautiful colors and the blurred wings with clear heads look great. I really like this...............agree with Julie on the rotation and the others for more separation where you can.................

    Nancy, Beautiful silhouette blur. I like it! I think the one bird and the reflection on the far left and the one bird and reflection on the far right would be what I would evict. Yikes! Agree a rotation might look good. Nicely done.

    Nancy, really like this blur. I agree with cloning out the birds Denise mentions. I think it would strengthen the comp.
