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.

[Brendan Dozier]

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

[Maureen Allen]

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.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the comments.
James, Thanks-that's what I get for working on my laptop using my finger pad

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!

[Michael Zajac]

Sweet colors and nice composition. I like this a lot.

[Steve Adkins]

Wonderful layers, colors and pano crop. Outstanding BG result!

[Christopher Miller]

Outstanding image, Denise! I love the colors and comp, and the soft BG really puts it over the top. Very nicely done!

[Cheryl Slechta]

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

Denise, this is a lovely image, looks great cropped as a pano!
