What an interesting look! I like it. Lovely composition and colors. I wish the area around the beak were a little sharper, or something, so I can tell more easily what is going on. But, maybe I'm just being lazy.
Lovely work Denise. The original must be killer also. I haven't tried PB yet, but really love the way it handled the sky and the general feel for this one.
Sweet image Denise a real Kodak moment, I'd love to get an image of Heron,s doing this.
It has a real painterly look to it, I downloaded the frac filter but still haven't had time to play with it much. Smokin work...
