Here goes I tried the radial filter. I think it looks better I did see a subtle difference. Please tell me what you think |

I would have to say yes, the original was flat from the way I remember it.

Great capture of the bird. I do also agree with Ed on the crop, brings the attention more to the bird then to the flower. |

Just a thought could you add a small border of white to the picture. I think this would stop at least my eyes from being drawn out of the picture. |

I so agree with you on some of the best photos not being planned. This is one of those times. I like how you blurred the background. |

I've come back to this numerous times before posting. This has grown on me. I like the fact that you have an odd number of subjects with the lone mallard. You also have the abstract of the mud that is interesting. I might have cloned out the feathers of the doc on the left side of the photo. |

In my opinion this reminds me of a Thomas Kinkade painting. I also agree with Ed how the light makes you hopscotch down the trees to the water. Thank you for sharing |

I feel you are an awesome asset to this group. I enjoy your feedback an learn something every month.
I also debated about the dark areas at the bottom when I took the suggestion of others to crop in on the photo, I noticed they stood out way too much, so I removed them.
You stated
I also think a little bit of heightened contrast painting on the central subject helps, and I liked the effect when I accentuated the dark edge above, and the light edge below, the gray band that stretches across the frame.
Would I use a gradient filter to achieve the effect?
Thank you for your help. |

I do not think I've ever made anyone uncomfortable with my art. Thank you for sharing that. My main goal in photography is to allow people to see common things in a new unique light. I enjoy stretching people's boundaries.

I decided not to take the trees out in my opinion it kinda anchors the horizon. I did though remove more of the snow.

Interesting perspective. I have never thought of using my wide-angle lens for close up photography, something else to experiment with this summer. I like the texture and detail you achieved in the photograph. |

Thank you for that suggestion of the 16 x9 crop. It does bring the attention more to the reflection. One more benefit is that the horizon now is not dead smack in the middle. I also used content aware and removed some of the sticks in the foreground that became more obvious after the crop. Let me know what you think. |

I totally agree that Mark's photoshop comments are pushing my limits. I need to start taking better notes when I take the photos. I do know this was in the np but I do not know exactly where, sorry.
I have the Topaz filters and I use them very sparingly. This summer I will definitely be experimenting with faster ss.
