I was thrilled to witness this sunrise with thousands of snow geese!

Hi James,
You witnessed a wonderful sunrise and the image was well captured. I like the wonderful reds and yellows and the silhouette of the birds adds interest.
TFS and best wishes,
Mark.

Me thinks I recognize this scene!! You sure had an impressive sunrise here, James. Aside from the obvious colors in the sky, I am really liking the colors in the FG water. Your comp works well.

Hi James,
Wonderful image and well done. Nicely exposed. This looks like the clouds on December 1 (correct?). If so I was there too, but I didn't get there early enough before the throngs of other photographers (I got there about an hour before sunrise). You had a MUCH better spot, and that made all the difference. It looks like I was way to your right, but I had other things in the foreground. Congratulations and beautiful image.
(I got there much earlier the next morning, but the sunrise was not a pretty.)

Lovely image James. :5
The layering and colours are great, but I particularly like the reflected colour/light in the water as well as the almost "mercury"-like texture/tone in the water in the foreground.
Nice work!

James - I agree with the others- gorgeous sunrise and very well captured. I too like the reflected colors in the water.
TFS,

Thanks for the comments everyone! You are correct Roger, this image was taken December 1.

Beautiful James. The foreground water is killer. I am curious as to exactly where you were..... Any clues?

Hello Artie, I remember exactly where I was standing. This is a nice sized (~25ft wide) opening just north of the flight deck .

Thanks James. Love the clear water that you enjoyed. I have tried to get them to put in a small boardwalk there and to take down the "Area closed beyond this sign" sign. The funny thing is that they put the sign up immediately after I requested that they clean up the area a bit and put down a small platform of boards to ease over-crowding on the flight deck.

Sorry I am late to the party. All of the good things mentioned. Nothing like a well exposed sunrise to get the juices flowing. Spectacular colors make any image sing. TFS.
