I know this photo is a bit dark, but I really like the relections in the water where the bird was swimming. I took the photo at a golf course in Myrtle Beach while my husband and brother were playing golf!

Hi Donna, in this workshop I was looking at throwing in a little more light while maintaining the reflections. I used curves. I brought up the shadow region to enhance the bird to a point where I could see his eye well. On the light side, to maintain contrast I raised it a bit to enhance the blue reflection from the sky. For the repost I sharpened very slightly with smart sharpen. I hope you approve.

I have removed the copy from my terminal.
