Sorry about that

The rope...as I have said many times on Pixalo, small pictures lose details and what looks like a bird to you on your full size version looks like a dot or a spot to the members here when we view it, its the same for the rope, in your small picture it looks like a pipe or something running under the water and due to the lack of detail I chose to remove it. If it is clear that its a rope in the full size shot and you like it as a lead in line then it should stay.

Lastly (still connected to the rope and size) pictures lose definition when reduced to be displayed online. A small amount of sharpening as the last stage before upload can often make a great difference in how well the shot is received. I most cases you are not sharpening the image but recovering some of the detail that was lost by shrinking it to web sizes.

Hope that helps
