I agree with her, so I removed the stake ! I think it looks much better now !
Didn't disburb me at all John. Think it's even better to accept reality than creating an imaginary fairy tale world. Think it's just a matter of taste.
Accepting Roxio7's critique would mean that you have to clone out the water as well. Don't say you however what's my opinion on that.

Sluit mij aan bij Cornelius. De foto was natuurlijk, maar nu ik kijk naar deze versie zeg ik eerlijk dat de vogel mooier over komt in de rustigere achtergrond. Zelf probeer ik altijd een keuze te maken en wel of een gedeelte stoort in je achtergrond of niet. Heel mooi voorbeeld is jou commentaar op mijn hertjes. Jij zou het achterste hertje liever wegewerkt hebben, ik koos ervoor om het hertje een functie te laten hebben en dat is meer diepe effect. Blijft een smaak kwestie. John, in mij ogen zijn al jou ´reiger posts´ mooie plaatjes geworden! Mich
I agree with both Cornelius and Michel! The image looks better and more serene like this. But I already liked your first post... just a mather of personal taste. Just every now and then it is good to try and see what the difference is.
i'm with the gang. either way is fine but i honestly think that without the stake the bird is better presented. getting rid of it must have been quite a task.
Nice rework! I remember viewing the first image & didn't pay much attention to the post in the original image ... guess I was focusing on the beautiful bird more. I have to say I like this one much better though. Very well done.
Good job. I am surprised he stood there all that time for you to go back and remove the stake. It must have wanted its photo taken something awful. Excellent work on both John.
