Morning Glory - Bosque at Sunrise...

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Hi Everyone!
Here is another effort from my recent trip to Bosque with Artie - that morning light is something that I will never forget....
40D 100-400 @400
F 5.6 1/80 sec
Exp comp 0.0
ISO 400
I was working on in-camera blurs that morning - I have really done nothing except a slight crop and a curves adjustment in PS.
As always I really appreciate your comments and critiques.
Best to all,
Nicki

Very peaceful and serene Nicki. Love the pastels shades of the mountains, and the birds are well positioned in the frame. If anything just a bit more canvas on the left for my taste. Would make a lovely print. I have been to Bosque off-season and it must be magical when all the birds were there. Lucky you!!!!

Very pretty! There is one spot on the mountains that looks a bit whiter than the rest...I'd tone that down a bit and make it blend more evenly and then I think this would be a stunning print.

Hi girls!
Thank you for your kind words. Actually I made a print of this on canvas and it looks really pretty - could be my favourite of the Bosque blurs that I did. I think that the white spot on the mountain is snow (I think!). When printed the colours are a little stronger which de-emphasizes the white. Jackie, you need to go in the winter - magical!!
Regards,
Nicki

Sorry we missed each other in New Mexico Nicki. At least our paths will be crossing very soon! I like this pano a lot. It's a great Bosque 'winterscape.' I would like to see a little extra canvas on the left. Thanks for sharing!

Lovely arrangement of birds, with a great BG of the snowed mountains. Very dreamy and moody!

Excellent warm, dreamy feel to this, Nicki. Colors comp and BG are excellent! This would make another fine looking print I would imagine! I like it alot.
