** Greetings from the Critique Club **

A beautiful illusion image! . Suggestions: straighten the horizon, and try adjusting the white bird a little. The bird is too bright. If you use PS, you can select just the bird, then selective color - choose white from drop down, and add 10% to black. Just a suggestion. Otherwise I love the colors. Not much else I could suggest as this was executed so well.

I'm giving you the benefit of a doubt that it really isn't a water color. If it isn't I don't know how ya did it. Is it a reflection that ya turned upside down? As a photograph though it doesn't do much for me. I'm to traditional/conservative to appreciate some shots that are on the absract side or processed to the point that they no longer resemble a photograph...

I'm a fan of reflections and I like this shot although my eyes keep getting drawn into the very bright white bird. Nicely done.

a different take on the theme, and pulled off well. I like the out-of-the-box-ness of this one.

Very Cool! I really like it. A bit too much dead space on the left maybe.

very pretty reflection shot. the tilt detracts a bit for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good reflection shot. I'm not sure if the egret in front distracts from the image. This is where the reflection is given away. Anyway, good shot.

I hope that people are taking time to look at this picture before voting. I have and I REALLY like it and the illusion. The bird is the kicker. Excellent photo and well done. The only thing that bothers me....I'd like to see the house to be level. A few degrees to the left ought to do it....9

very nice. The red on the bottom is a tad distracting. The house also looks a little crooked (but it's really late)
