Part of it I really like. The showing of movement and takeoff really works well. What weakens it a bit is the actual bird and reflection is in such a dark area and doesn't really stand out very well, so I almost don't see it at first. It is certainly worth the effort you put in to it.
I would like to see it without the reversed splash - since that is actually how it looked, just to see what I think. -- Bruce Saturday, September 8, 2007, 9:34:16 AM, you wrote: TØ> Hi gang.
