Thanks so much Lynn, William and Janine, for your nice comments! I'm considering two other crops (there were four total!) can't decide with this one! They are all three at the front of my gallery and if anyone has a moment to give me an opinion, I'd be grateful! #3420356

Sam Britt October 07, 2006

Terrific capture, Susan. This is my favorite of the three, because the reflection of the bird isn't cut off. Have you considered cropping above the reflection of the neck? I've done that before when I didn't manage to get a full reflection with my camera.

That, in fact, is what I wanted to do, as I thought it looked better, but then it makes the image quite small unless I enlarge it a great deal. And I've noticed that when images are small on BP they lose a lot of impact. I might try it again (which would make 5 attempts at this). Thanks so much for looking at the three and giving your opinion! #3421052

A late congrats on a beautiful finalist! I love the reflection and lighting, and this has an almost painted look! #4027658

Susan Jane Allen March 06, 2007

Thanks so much for visiting my gallery, Carol! It is kind of almost painted...in a way... It wasn't as sharp as I would like and so did lot of selective colour burn to make it seem sharper, and other stuff I don't remember---maybe some accented edges, or something... #4029040

Carol Teal March 07, 2007

Well, it worked well Susan! :) #4030301
