Thanks for looking and commenting. I can assure you, it ain't upside down. I was sober as a lark :-) But could you put into words what makes you see the picture this way. If I knew what you see, then I might find a solution for an impovement.
This is a tweaked Lightroom sephia convertion. By tweaked I mean that I've manulated the contrast from the preset a bit further. I've also clipped out and reversed one of the splashes. The direction of the splash contradicted the movement of the bird. I tried a colour version first. But I found that the colours distracted from the energy and the movement in the scene. The water had a washed out look too. So the colors had to go.

I am still a bit puzzled at how the reflection appears ahead of the bird. It is just a little bit, but it makes me wonder... Am I lookin at an upside down image? Would that make a difference? I wish the colors were a bit stronger as well. Regards, Bob S. On 9/8/07, Tim Øsleby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi gang. It is PESO time again!!! > > Some of you may have seen this.
