    Cool shot Artie, like the inclusion of the land (?) at the foot of the image, gives a nice platform to the overall shot.

    Artie, great blur effect, and just love the different hue's of yellow. I like both the space top and bottom. Well thought out.

    Gorgeous blast off. For me, the handful of geese at the top really make the image stand out.

    P.S. I've noticed for a while that the image of you in your avitar has, shall we say, a less than ideal head angle and the bubble level seems to be in an odd place. Please explain.

    Artie, very cool. liked the effect. the three distinct layers and those few geese at the top clearly separated from the rest....that makes a big difference.

    Love the layers - the water, the flock and the top BG. The six or so escapees from the flock in the top layer make this image for me. The colour is great also.

    I have nothing to say other than I love it.

    Actually, I will say that I am fri**ing jealous and this will push me to work with this technique more.

    Artie,
    I have a love/hate relationship with blurs...ie.I love yours and hate mine!! What makes me like this one is the texture and the layers and the beautiful yellows. Well done,
    Gail
