Nice silhouette and beautiful water color Brian. it doesn't feel quite level to me.

Allen:

I like the mood of this image. Nice silhouette with a nice pose. I think the direction of the ripples is causing it to look like it needs a CW rotation, but I'm not convinced it is real. Worth taking a look to see if you like it better one way or the other.

Floyd, this is quite nice. I really like the open framing to show that beautiful water. For me it works with or without a slight CW adjustment, however I kind of wish for more FG for the bird to look into, just my 2 cents..

Very nice silhouette. Superb water color especially in the larger image. It looks level to me. Real interesting to see the difference between the larger and smaller color saturation on these images. That JPEG compression really affects the image on the site

A lovely background with the sunset colors reflected on the water, Allen. the silhouette of the Egret works well in the position and size you chose.
