      Beautiful series Jo. What more can I say?

      Just one thing. The brown line at the top of #1 might look better if it was blue. Clone tool?

      My indecision is final, I think.

        Appreciate your feedback Charles.

        I did give the brown line some consideration. Cropped down it was a little too low, although I do think it would neaten the image. I never thought of making it blue. Good idea.
        Then I thought it might act like a natural frame and it hints at what the reflection in the water might be from.

      Beautiful series Jo,

      I tend to agree with Charles about the brown line.

      I don't think cropping it out upsets the balance/composition very much, but if you only cropped half of it out and then cloned some blue over the remaining brown - possibly at a reduced %? to achieve the same degree of 'brownness' as in the reflection might be a nice compromise

      I know some people who think that the entire reflection should be shown - just wondering if you had a shot that included all of it?

      The 'bad hair day' one is fantastic

      Cheers
      Alan

        Thanks for that Alan. There was a lot of weedy water and wind, so the reflection was pretty mucky.

        Very nice - I reckon you could also crop out a tad more of the mud on the bottom, (and/or add a bit more blue on the top) - but that's a very minor nit and personal taste

          Thought I would show you the foreground. :-) It's always a struggle to decide what should go, what should be left to be seen, warts and all.

          Thank you for taking the time to look and comment. This was about 2 and a half hours away from home. Yep.. drove to another swamp. I have issues.

          Thank you for the feedback, It is nice to see a heron relaxed enough to do that.

        Wish I could fix that annoying extra r in the title.
