I liked the way the curve of the clouds mirrored the curve in the mud flats. I processed this with Color efex tonal contrast and detail extractor and then composited the birds into the composition.

Hi Bob, I like the placement of the birds in this composite and the foreground water curving around. I think I would prefer it with the grasses cropped or evicted along the bottom edge, but that's just me

[Judy Howle]

I love the soft blues and the pinks in the sky, and the curve of the water. The birds were a nice addition. I'm with Andrew on cropping or cloning out the grass.

[Steve Adkins]

Wonderful symmetry, Bob. The colors, geese and horizon layers are special. Agree with Andrew and Judy about cleaning up the bottom edge. Great vision and timing!

[Kerry Perkins]

Beautiful colors and detail Bob! Nice serene feel and mood to the image. Agree about the grass at the bottom, and I would vote for some form of cloning rather than cropping, as I like the overall composition. Very nicely done, I like it!

[John Storjohann]

Bob, some great suggestions already given...cloning out/evicting the grasses along the lower edge...and I'd be tempted to do a graduated density filter effect on the upper 1/2, about to the horizon line, just to bring out those wonderful muted colors a bit. Love the composition.

Bob, The colors are lovely and so is the composition. I would probably crop a sliver off the bottom to clean up the lower edge and then a slight crop on top to just below the small white band if it were mine. Since you added the birds I might put them slightly back in the frame more- again if it were mine Nice eye for this one and great job with the filters!!
