The rework version is more anchored for me. Just that V of birds and its reflection (plus some very light tone) is enough to give me a key that there is a surface there. I do think that the centre elements are stronger now, too (mid tones) echoing what Philippe has said, I think. All just my impressions and opinions based on the screen image, of course. Your stuff is so well crafted, I am always eager to enjoy and learn from, each new image.

The version within the slide show remains unchanged. I agree with Philippe that the first attempt was a bit weak in the mid tones (that's how interpreted his comment). However, yes, I intended to have the sky and water disappear save for the foliage and reflection. I enjoy the graphic strength and disconcerting quality of the effect. Haven't printed it as yet - but this is now close to the way I'd hopefully print it. Thanks Luis for taking the time to look and comment.
