hmmm, does this look a little too dark on your monitor?
also, i guess we don't have a project theme this month, so we'll probably skip it this month.

well, nobody's home...
I thought it was too dark, so I adjusted it a bit, and reloaded a new version.

This looks fantastic, Warren!
Not only amazing timing on your part, but it's a beautiful composition - the placement of the egret is great, and I love the curved divider between the black and the blue.
You've held detail in the whites of the egret beautifully.
White, aqua, and black - so simple and effective.

Beautiful minimalist image!!!
Have you tried B&W? It looks great in color, but it may also suit B&W.
On the B&W thing, try creating a B&W layer and apply a blue filter - it will turn the water to very light (but it still preserves, in fact, emphasizes, the little bit of texture in the water) and the shrub goes dark. I tried it on a screen capture of your image, and I thought it really worked well :-)
Thanks Steve! :)
I did try it in B&W, twice, in-fact. But in the end, I decided that I liked the blue sky reflection on the water to remind myself of what the scene actually looked like that day.
If you want, you can post your B&W version of my picture.

My mind is attempting to see a horizon. The combination of straight lines from the reeds and the round shape of the shrub with a good angle between the two shapes draws me to look at the image and think of what caused this.
Thanks for sharing the photo.
