Damn cold Friday morning so I gave up on birding, took a few quick snaps, packed up and came home. (Felt sorry for the camera )

Interesting image Gaz. The light ripples on the water make the bottom half seem like a canvas.

Lovely photo Gaz. Beautiful colours and well presented. Like Todd said and it would look good on canvas as well.

Nice photos Gaz. Early morning landscapes and seascapes are not for me in winter.

Thanks very much, people. Cheers.

G'day Gaz

I think that you've got a cracker of a pic here - shivers etc. all to one side & fingers fruzzed to the bone
I like the 2:1 -or thereabouts- aspect as it does make it better on the eye -
cc if I may ... What do you think about a tad more saturation boost to the orange cloud & reflection to take it to a more dramatic level??

Thanks very much, Phil.

Of course, you may. CC more than welcome

I did experiment with more saturation but kept getting a slight banding between the different hues.
I was once told to also increase the saturation sliders either side of the intended colour but still no joy in this case? Perhaps I'm pushing it too hard?

However, I will persist...
(Perhaps a play with luminosity masks? Hmmm...)

Cheers.
