I've been up to my neck in allligators at work, and struggling with computer problems at home so I haven't been around much of late -- sorry! Here's a redux of a heron image which began as a kind of night-into-day creation, but then I got hooked on the reflections and color...
Image
The original has decent reflections in the fg, but the bg was brown muddy water which had to go! Flaming Pear Flood, Flexify, Silver and PS liquify and lighting to separate the bird from the bg -- the unorthodox partial frame came from the Silver treatment. By the way, does the brightness level seem about right? thx for looking!

Howdy Gary :D Love the metallic colours and some depth in this vertical M8t. Carol's got a great description there Gary. Get rid of the Alligators (I won't ask :wink: ) and post when you can.

All the best Gary, love the colours and subject.

Fascinating colours and textures here Gary. Looks like a flock of birds in the bg too. 8)
