I found this exercise interesting...... In your first pair with the sun rays, I liked the first one, as I found the palette choice and sun rays to give your scene an ethereal presentation. I understood it as your creativity. In the 2nd pair where you removed they rays, I liked the birds against the blue sky as I felt the blue background was a better/more realistic contrast to the birds in flight. Don't stop being creative. Bev
Your color management really made the waterfall pop. Well done. Bev

Fun images Fran. Mine all left also, after 2 weeks with us. House way too quite, but I just crashed. Didn't use my down time like you did with wonderful creativity. Bev
Wonderful shots Fran. Bev
