Feedback and suggestions welcomed!

Workflow in PS Elements + ACR edits are included below. The flamingos are a single brush from brusheezy.com (free a few years ago).

Many thanks.

Your workflow looks straightforward Linda - and the result is simply beautiful! I’m surprised the water reflection is part of the original image, I expected more movement - then I could have chastised you for not using a displacement map for the flamingo reflections, but they look fine! You’ve made a very nice image.

The blue sets the mood, with or without the flamingos. Simple edit tools do so much ... amazing.

Wow your timing on getting the light and flamingos was perfect. How long did you have to sit and wait for that to happen. Simple and effective. 👍

LOL, some little voice in my head (yours?) said "displacement" and I tried to make the flamingo reflection slightly skewed for that.

Here is a quick HDR of the fountain original so you can see the real water reflection and drops.

Many thanks for your time and interest, Dave!

LOL, if a scene takes more than a minute to unfold, I'm usually outta there, Frank

Delighted you enjoyed, thanks much!
