    I made this image early Morning Bosque Del Apache Near Main Ponds Dec 27 2018

    I was waiting for Blast off and I saw the 2 tone water colors with Sandhill cranes and made this image.

    I went for Simple Image design.

    I was in Shutter Priority for Blurs during morning with Auto ISO

    Nikon D500, 500 f/4
    1/13 sec; f/4.5; ISO 2500 , +1 EV (Auto ISO)
    Shutter priority; Matrix metering

    Hope you like this image.

    Let me know your thoughts and comments.

    Thanks
    Krishna

    I prefer your last 2 images.
    I like where you have placed the cranes in the frame but I don't like the ripples in the water.
    I would clone out the spots in the water and rotate the image CW,

    Colors here are beautiful. Unlike most people I do not like all black silhouettes and like just a touch of details to show. Agree with some clockwise rotation.

    I'm OK with solid silhouettes, but to me it seems the overall tones seem a touch bright to have those silhouettes as such, maybe it's just me. I agree the colours are nice, and I also agree with some CW rotation needed.

    Pretty striking image with the dark/light going on here.

    Thank you all for the comments.

    Here is the repost with Clockwise rotation.

    I remember that I leveled the camera before making this image.

    so I did not both correcting the same in post.

    Not sure How I missed it.

    I like the fact that you can see some detail in the silhouettes. The repost is an improvement with the CW rotation. Perhaps I might have tried to go a little higher or lower to avoid the colour change going through the middle of the body. As for the water itself, I like it with the bubbles and the background waves; it gives the image just a bit more interest, and water isn't usually glass-flat with nothing on it anyway. Nice job!

    I love this image for many reasons. #1 is that you got high enough. I love the lines. For a big print I would lose the little black spots in the water.
