It would have looked more natural. Everything else is just fantastic. The sky and the palms are wonderful. Crisp and clean with beautiful color. Good job!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Yes, I've done some of my best work early in the morning. This was taken and I did no alterations to it at all. What you see is exactly what it looked like that morning. It was spectacular! I agree with you on taking out the bridge and fence, but don't know how to do that. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This was a shot of 4 different birds - they just happened to be in 4 different stages of flight when I took this shot. Good timing and no editing at all.

Thanks! I had a hard time deciding between this picture and my unusual bark picture, but loved the colors in this. I wish I'd gotten a little more feedback/comments, though, as this was my first challenge. Thank you for your comment and taking the time to respond.

Very nice job using blur and mask techniques to turn an ordinary photograph into something beautiful. Bumping Up!

Soft focus on edges works great here.
