Love this grouping Ray and the water color is attractive and different. Since all 5 are on relatively the same horizontal plane have you thought of cropping this into a pano format! Looks great however, as is!

A cool grouping, Ray. I think I'd crop this to a pano. All the space on the bottom and top don't seem to add much.

Ray ..this is a beautiful frame, love the colors and the birds in that background. May be I too would remove the lower portion to make this pano..but love this as is too .

Ray, I like the re-post. The crop works well and draws the eye straight to the wood ducks. Interesting colours and textures on the water surface combines well with rich colours on the ducks.

I like both versions here Ray, I think the negative space at the bottom works well in the original.

Unique setting/look to the water Ray, it looks like it's teaming with life/new growth..
I think the pano works best for this, well done!
