Louisiana Sunrise

[Wheeler McDougal Jr.]

Took this last week on a birding shoot in central Louisiana. The color is just as rich as it looks in the image. Hope you like it, let me know.

Hi Wheeler, I hope you enjoyed your visit to may state and had a good bird shoot.

This is a wonderful example of a very plain view made beautiful. Two big things
I learned on the Landscape forum was level horizon and don't unnecessarily crop into a tree.

Here is a quick leveling, crop from bottom and right, and added canvas to left
........hope it is a meaningful repost.

Thanks for sharing from your trip

Hey Mac,
Nicely seen and composed but Dave's tweaks really make it shine. I always tell people to mind the edges......no different than a wing clip......but this one was easily saved. Nice placement on the tree and sun

I really love this picture, the colors are beautiful, this is something i would hang on my wall. I really like the re post, that stuff on the bottom was catching my eye, i just don't like how the sun reflecting got cut off a bit. Always enjoy you work.

This is very nice. I would love to see the full tree.
