My favorite so far... Perfect composition overall. TFS

Nice one Geoffrey, with a lot to take in with multiple different layers of birds and colors. I like the color gradient moving up from blue to orange. The birds in the far back flying are great. I like that generally everything is moving left to right. I would clone out the three very small birds in the upper right hand corner. TFS

Lovely morning mood shot. I'm not in love with the far background and the distinct horizontal line.
It looks like a couple of shots in one. Maybe a pano shot just taking in just below that line and below the ducks.
What shutter speed?

[John Mack]

Some nice depth to this one. Like the colors here. Mountains in the background are nice as well.

[gail bisson]

Quite nice.
I think this needs a bit of CW rotation.
Good colors.Nice layers within the image.
Agree with cloning out 3 birds in RUC.

Lovely early morning colors and mood. I like the mountain profile in the bg. I hadn't realized how strong that horizontal line was until I went back and confirmed it in my images.

[Joseph Przybyla]

Hi Bill, wonderful image. I love the bands of colors, the silhouetted birds. I agree with a slight CW rotation. Thank you for sharing.

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Thanks everyone.
