Poor guy looks like he's stepping out of an oil slick. Great textures in the grass as well as his feathers. Excellent depth of field, with the water just a shimmery background. Great icy color to the eye as well. A very interesting take on this idea. Well done.

Originally posted by LonnieD: Nice pic but I have some questions..... Have the clouds at the top been selectively desaturated......? The colours on the left and the right somehow don't appear the same - or from the same capture - slightly unnatural? But overall excellent placing of elements in the frame. Great angle.

The clouds were different colors in the original also. No selective desat in this photo. The sky was blue/grey/green. It was a really bad storm. Lots of lightning, wind and pouring rain later. The clouds were from the same capture. I used a heavy application of Topaz Adjust to make the clouds look meaner.

I'm still wondering what that deck is doing out there in the middle of nowhere... Great image.

Hey... your title reminded me of a Letters to Cleo song I hadn't heard in 10 years...Big Star...though it starts 'There it goes again...' ...so I'm not sure why. Anyway, the sky is very ominous. The lighting on the people on the deck is interesting. I wish I could see the people better (i know they probably wouldn't be bystanders anymore) and could better associate the storm to a metaphor of life. -8
