    I cleaned up the edges of some cut off birds and cropped it to a pano. The whites are not clipped in the tiff but I imagine they look lighter in the jpeg.

    Denise. I like it alot, especially the colors, the sanderlings, and the background There is a blurred bird in the background a bit left of center that might need eviction IMO. Was this effect done in camera? regards~Bill

    Really sweet image Denise! Nice 3D effect - it looks like they are standing on the surface of the water. Love the colors and bg.

    Really like the composition and low angle on this, Denise. Very cool BG, almost has a slight rainbow effect to it.

    Beautiful composition, angle and background. Wonderful! The oof birds in the back give it depth.

    Denise,
    Well seen and executed.
    I love the composition, background and the pano crop puts it over the top.

    I did notice what looks like cloning artifacts in a couple of spots.

    Bill, It was done mostly in-camera from a low position. I did enhance the BG a little.

    Denise,

    Sorry I came late to this one. The background in this image pushes it over the top for me. There's something about having those blurred vertical lines that adds a unique quality. Love the earthy, green tones and quality of the light on the subjects. Beautiful capture.

    This is beautiful, Denise. I agree, it is the bg that makes it so much more interesting. Exquisite lighting and the crop really makes it shine. Perfect for a large wall hanging!

    Denise, the colors and lighting are spectacular. The sanderlings almost glow and the bg really sets them off.
