    Very nice set, Robert! thumb.gif

    The egret in #3 is my pick....I'd clone out that bit of branch on the lower right, however.

    Excellent work Robert. clap.gif You did very well on the exposures and teh entire set is a pleasure to view.

    My only nit is that they are almost washed out, you may want to try adjusting the black point on them.

    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!"
