something completely out of my comfort zone.

Thoughts ?

A nice pic Scott and I particularly like the water trail.

If it was me I would clone out some of the tiny floating debris as it tends to detract from the picture.

I like it. I think you've done well for something outwith your comfort zone.
The feathers at the rear of the wings have blown highlights, and the shot would be improved with more space on the left I think.
The water looks an unusual shade of blue, but I like it.
It is very tranquil .

Thank you and yes agreed, quick edit on phone and should of noticed it, but I’ve sorted it
