Bosque morning

[Grace Scalzo]

After the storm kept the refuge closed for two days, this was the scene on my first day in. Absolutely surreal. This is what I saw, the only pp I did was to remove a dust spot and slightly level the horizon, pulled down the exposure 1/3 stop and sightly sharpened. A magical place, ever changing.

Very nice Landscape image, Grace.
a very nice mood and nice separate silhouettes.

Lovely birdscape. Very unusual colors-reminds me of the old fashion lithographs. I like the steam and the fact that none of the birds in the air are touching each other. I really like the horizontal layers of dark and bright. Definitely a different perspective and a contest entry,

Another very creative image from you Grace. It makes me want to go there and experience the bad weather you had! I love the uncoloured look of this colour photo. Are those mostly pintails coming in?

Grace, I like the artistic look to this. The color tone is lovely.

[Robert Holguin]

Wonderful image. I really like the comp, excellent light, and the steam is just great.
Well done.

[Melissa Groo]

Fantastic image, Grace. Love the shades here, perfect composition and the sense of depth. Very atmospheric. Your pictures are giving me a great sense of what it's like to be there (and making me shiver!)

Sweet image Grace. Brings back memories of the unusual weather conditions we experienced there. I think you , as well as the rest of us worked hard to make the best of it , and it seems to have paid off.:5

[Grace Scalzo]

Thanks everyone, and mostly thanks to Mother Nature for offering this to us. I don't know if I could call what we did out there "work", Joe, but it did take some effort, didn't it? :w3
