    Very effective capture. Good lighting and excellent colors. On the comp I would have liked to see a tad more room to the left for the teal to move into.

    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!"

    Harryb: I had such a short span of time to take this picture, fearing that I was going to loose the subject, that all what I have learned went down the drain, I just made sure the camera was ready and shot.!!!!!!!!!!
    I really appreciate the comment and will take it in consideration next time. (If I don't freeze myself).

    Dennis: Thanks very much.
    When I have the opportunity to get as close to the subject as this shot, I prefer the low angle, it makes feel closer and in this case, the water reflection worked for me.

    I feel very happy.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Happens to me frequently. When that happens its time to add canvas.

    Ric and Harry:
    I paid attention to your suggestion of adding canvas, so, I did.
    I did not care too much to soften the edges, just wanted to produce the additional canvas and succeeded, not the best job, but now I will
    be able to improve and get better results.
    I will work now on adding, softening the edges, clone, etc. etc.
    Thanks much.
    Carlos

    PS. What do you think?

    Added what I believe should be the finished Job compared to my first canvas addition.
