    I had a good look at the final image before looking at the original Joyce and my first thoughts were a flood filter or the likes as a backdrop, I’d never have guessed it was your backlit shadow on the water, so creative and artistic, a stunning result from what many of us might have regarded as a non keeper, well done indeed,
    Regards, Rod.

  • Joyce Dickens,... replied

    Rod, I can’t tell you how much your comment and compliment mean to me…..I have wanted to do this for some time now, and never really tried it with the water reflection…..I am very happy with the resulting image…......I am finding that the more you look at it, the more you like it (me, anyway)..........thank you again so very much!!!

  • Christopher  Ewing

    Christopher E...
