HI Gang,

This is not a new photo but it is one of my faves so I thought I'd put it out here to see what you guys think. Comments always welcome.

    Nice composition. As far as suggestions, I would possibly try sharpening the pic a bit and adding some saturation. The color seems a bit flat. If you can, you may try leaving some more room at the bottom. Other than that it is a good pic of two snowys.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    They certainly have the SoCal attitude! I agree with stephen if you can add a little space on the bottom of the frame to add some weight to the birds!

    Thanks for the comments guys. The bottom of the pic is the original composition so, unfortunately, I can't change that now. I did crop the right third from the original to put the birds on the right of and looking into the pic. As for the water colors, it was my first experiment with a polarizing filter which filtered out the glistening of the water while darkening and flattening the colors. It's all just a learning experience.

    Thanks again for the comments.

    I like it. Nice control of the exposure and I really like the background.
