Sunrise, Clouds, Turtles and Squirrels

Pink clouds early this morning. . . .

 . . .reflecting off the canal

 Sunrise amongst the clouds.

 Turtles ate the duck dessert (not their cracked corn).

 Squirrel in the Sunshine!

 Poser . . . .

I used a different technique instead of photoshop (crop, size and save).  All the same but using my system's way of doing it.  Do they look different or better?
