We always leave the motel 15 minutes early on the first morning of an IPT to give folks lots of time to get their gear together and get set up properly. This procedure is especially helpful when the sunrise takes your breath away.
This image was created with the Canon 24-105mm lens (at 24mm) with the EOS-1D MIII. ISO 400. Evaluative metering +1 stop: 1/100 sec. at f.4.

I am with Tony, I was going to comment on the water ripples too as they give the water a lovely texture and dimension. Colours and sky are excellent as well! No nits IMO. Congratulaitons!
This scene really brings tears to my eyes. I really wanted to go back to the Bosque this fall. Just beautiful, Artie, thanks for sharing and best wishes for the rest of your stay.
An image that transports me from in front of my computer to the scene you witnessed. I don't think I clearly said that but what I mean is this is absolutely gorgeous.
Bosque IPT First Morning....
