Added 3/17/06: The framing in the triptych was done bit by bit on each of the three images before they were joined. I did a fair amount of trial and error, and figureing on a scratch pad, before I came up with the right combinations. The key was to use assymetrical borders on the three parts. All was done with PaintShop Pro 7. Not really difficult but somewhat time consuming at first attempt.

I lke your wildlife shots a lot... herons are one of my favourite things to photograph... I really like the colors, the warm browns that are in some of yours... How do you get them to look like that? I am not very good at all in PShop but would appreciate it if you could give me a few suggestions.
7 - Very good, and good use of 'triptych'. Criticism; not much, really only the frame detracts in my opinion, especially the 'gold' thin frame. Very good shots all, nice coloring and good captures, especially 2 & 3. Up to 7 from 6.
A good set of graceful images presented in pleasing earth tones. My only gripe is the brightness of the stroke border - I think the golden hue is nice, but it would be better toned down to a lesser contrast with the background brown.
you've prolly gotten a whole load of comments on the brown frame, so I'll skip that. the vertical frame is very good, and suits the bird (heron?) very well. the upper one on the right is interesting but not the lower one.
overall this is good. best of luck.
This is so beautiful! I had a picture somewhat like this using beautiful birds, but I couldn't get the file size big enough to use it -- I wish I knew how you were able to use 3 pictures like this and have such a nice big shot. I absolutely just love this. You did a fantastic job.
