I won Artist of the Year

[Kent Curole]

Thanks for the compliments.

Hey Jeff, Nah, not really on the water being cleaner here, but when you get into shallow ponds and the debris is not disturbed, you can usually see a few inches deeper.

P.S. And by the way, the reason I accomplished it rather quickly (in my case) is because of some great techniques taught to me by Linda Vise here at Portrait Artist. She's great. Of coarse I pick up great things every day from this forum.
