good work to get the bird there...I would have liked a little more space on the right for composition, but well done in any case

This is a nice feeling to it - a sort of magnificence. And the blue of the water is lovely.

Karen, thanks for your kind words and posthumous nomination for my image. I just stopped by to see which is yours, and wanted to mention that I thought this was fantastic, and an excellent interpretation of photoimpressionism. It was one of three 10's I gave in the challenge. Congratulations on you 13th place shot here! Shame voters down-voted the lot, so the averages are so low.

Karen, this is absolutely beautiful! Amazing that you took it without even this challenge in mind -- it is so perfect.

Congratulations on such a strong placing in this amazing challenge.
