Excellent PP work Freddie. Good focus with nice lighting and composition.

TFS,
David

I really like this, even though the subject matter isn't especially my interest. Great light, very good composition - and your 'beam of light' effect is fantastic!
Well done
Rew

I like the water reflection, the contrast light/dark, needs a little bit of color on the small roses, but the sharpeness, specially of the feathers is great.

Very beautiful shot you have arranged
and a nice PP work is done for light and
water reflection.

about border, the black part left at the top and on the bottom is not of equal size? and the golden border also have no equal pixels. at bottom it is thicker. Did you have made it as it is looking or you havn't noticed it?

b/regards,
Jamshaid
