I think the color is really nice, but the blurred birds does not work for me.
A sharp photo would have been spectacular but really difficult to do, I know.

What an incredible color gradient, dappled w/ Birds alight! Very good "filling the frame" composition! If there was even one nit to pick it would be the lone bird at the water/land line that does not completely partition the image, but this is very^10 minor.

Great frame Troy, the flight direction of the birds makes this...

hi Troy, interesting and strong shot, and something different and fresh. Well done. There may be a bird in the wrong place, or on the edge of the frame, but with so many going past, that is unavoidable...The shot works
well done

Troy, excellent use of wide angle. Loved the colors. Agree that higher ISO to freeze the motion would have been better....but you were probably going for some blur. Very well seen.

Love the color Troy. You did a nice job capturing the morning blast-off. I would consider removing the one goose in the orange part of the water.
