East Beach Fort Desoto. Didnt know which forum to upload it to but I think of it as more of a bird photo than a landscape. Presents better larger in size and full resolution.

I like the layered water and sky. The bridge in the distance and the bird nicely counterpoint each other. Lovely composition ready to be hang on the wall.

Pleasing colors and a good-looking bridge. What lens did you use to capture this scene? Many thanks!

The colors are beautiful and I love the long pano crop.
This will look awesome when printed.
My only personal preference would be to take a bit off the left.
Well done,
Gail

A quintessential Florida image. Comp works fine for me. I'm torn as to whether it might look better without the whitish ripple in the magenta in front of the bird.

very nice panoramic composition that any of us would be proud to hang on the wall (and bet you are planning that already). You didn't say whether the colors were actually this electric or whether the natural colors were augmented in PS/LR, but they look great in this image.

Lovely combination of color and wide aspect works nicely....make a lovely print for a wall.....I think the sky looks a little grainy which is easily addressed, not sure about the whitish patch on the pink water as it seems to break up the symmetry a little

Definitely a photo to print. The best bird photo I have seen in a long time.

I think I agree

Then I would have to retitle it. On the larger file its not so much a splotch but you can see that a swirling fish has piqued his interest.

Pretty much as captured. The sunsets and sunrises over there are breathtaking. When others pack it in for the day I always head over there and have the beach to myself.

Fantastic. Wonderful colors.

Tranquil scene, great colors, composition is brilliant.

It is a bit over-done on the saturation for my tastes but very lovely. Best compositional balance would have resulted from pointing the lens more to the right. As presented, a crop from the left is in order for the same reason. Right now it it too left-heavy.

Thanks for your input. I have more to work with on the right in the original and will try that.

I love it as presented

Lovely image, Mike, and it's nice to see the bird so small in the frame. How many frames did you have here? Agree on taking a tad off of the left and do find the colors a bit oversaturated.
