Actually once I started playing with it, I guess I came up with something similar to your, but more a landscape crop and attempted to surround the bird with a bit more of the Lillys. Topaz deNoise seemed to sharpen up the head of the bird a bit, which I like, and a very slight NIK Color effects pro custom setup I use enhanced the sky reflection. Either way, the more I look at it, the more I appreciate it as a great image. Thanks for the opportunity!
Thank you so much! I'll have to see if I masked the Topaz Simplify from the bird's head. I probably did but just didn't notice it could have been sharper, while still retaining the softness of the water and lily pads. I also like the aspect you chose. Your edit is really, really nice!
