I like this...the fractilius enhances his plumage. Of course, you know this shot would be gorgeous on its own. It looks like the clarity for the avian forum would be perfect. What I like most, is the wonderful shade of blue as backdrop for the lovely white egret. I hope you post the original, too.

The original is really nice, but I think I'd darken the water in the real photo to the color in the fractilius. It makes the white of the bird quite sumptuous! I'd also pull out more of the feathers' structure in the original, as it must be there...since the art version has structure in the feathers underlying the fractilius.

With those changes, I think the photo would be as outstanding as your artwork!
Don't get me wrong, I love the art version....but, I long to love the original, too!

Sandy, both the original and modified versions are pleasing. Well done.
