Jim, Welcome to naturescapes! Nice first post. Great colors and composition. A little bit soft on my monitor but nothing that a little USM couldn't fix. Thanks for posting. Looking forward to more. :D

Lovely composition and bg Jim.

I agree with Rob that a blast of USM would improve it, but it's still a cracking shot! :)

Welcome! This is a terrific first post. As Rob mentioned it looks a little soft but that can be fixed.
Thanks for posting and we are all looking forward to seeing more of your work.

I have used a little USM as suggested and also realized seemed a little dulled down in terms of color so used some Brightness/Contrast change.

Hi Jim, ................ and welcome to the FM forum.
You started out with a nice one here buddy, and the reposts really rocks with outstanding colors, and you didn't cook the whites neither. That I like!! :)

Keep'em coming Jim, and again, glad you joined in and thanks for posting this one!
