Re: Peso-Grumpy Shoveler

[Jack Davis]

Thanks for your interest Larry, but
the only feature I will possibly
change at some future point is to
reduce the amount of floating
white stuff.

I certainly agree that they are entertaining, I don't think that all of 
the stick is quite as interesting as the part right under the duck. I 
would either crop it so that the upper left corner is a bit higher than 
his head and somewhere close to the feather on the stick, getting rid of 
about half the area of the photo which is mostly water, or I'd go for a 
vertical crop that only extends a little higher than the duck. 
Particularly if you really want to retain the reflections of his feet.

Nice, I'd like to see more of grumpy and less of the stick and water.

If that's at Colusa, in theory I was going to be driving through Williams right 
about now.  On the bright side, my car seems to be running OK now, I just need 
to decide whether to haul it up to the track tonight, or if I don't quite trust 
it enough.

Re: Peso-Grumpy Shoveler

[Jack Davis]

Thanks, Ann. I didn't include the white spots you're referring to because they 
were there, I
discounted those in favor of others
I removed which were more above
and around the area near to his
grumpiness which were more
distracting to me. Guess I felt
there had been the needed white
spot relief. 
Should I ever decide to archive the
image, I'll probably consider a
further cleanup.
Happy you consider it worthy of
doing.

Nice, I'd like to see more of grumpy and less of the stick and water.

If that's at Colusa, in theory I was going to be driving through 
Williams right about now.  On the bright side, my car seems to be 
running OK now, I just need to decide whether to haul it up to the track 
tonight, or if I don't quite trust it enough.
