Nice portrait, but saturation seems to be low.

Gorgeous bird. Unfortunately the background is a bit distracting. To blur the background more a larger aperture is required (small number). This would make the depth of field shallower.

Mmmm...this is a very peaceful shot. I would love to sit at the dock with a cup of hot cocoa and listen to the frogs and crickets and just enjoy the beauty.

Congrats! Excellent shot and well deserved ribbon!

Hi,

About the question of layers... I didn't do any adjustments with this one. I'm happy to send the original into DP Challenge. This is actually a very good camera -- see review at: //www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/DX6490/D64A.HTM
Believe it or not, I think any camera could have captured this shot. It was a very grey mist and the water was extremely still - a great advantage to living in Victoria, British Columbia at this time of the year.
