Bosque Sunrise Blast-off

Canon 20D, 70-200 f/4, 1.4xTC, @ 280mm, handheld
ISO 800, f/5.6 @ 1/50, Av, Auto Exposure, -2/3EV, full frame

Too little blur, too much blur...? Horizon too soft? Too much saturation? Is it a keeper? All comments and suggestions for improvement are welcome.

I think it is a beautiful image and I like the scene. For my taste blur is ok. Colors are very nice. I would clone out the bird far away on left side.

Hi Ron....I think the blur works. Saturation looks OK to me. I do agree with Ovidiu about cloning out that lone bird on the left. I vote " keeper"

[Harold Davis]

i like it. the bi color bg works nicely. i like that the top frame edge is clean. the line of birds in the shadow of the mtns adds some interest as well. i might clone out that white line on the waterline.

nice one!

Hi Ron Mighty fine image

Blur wise might have gone with a slower shutter speed to render the birds up front unrecognizable Seems to have lots of merges Do like the framing, placement of flock within the space and feel !!! You do have an impressive collection !!!! Big Congrats !!!

A`sweet image Ron,
I like the color rendition and the magical glow of your tones and hues in the sky...very nice...:cool:

hi Ron - like the light and the colours - the blur works for me - I vote keeper.
Remember the further something is away - the slower the shutter speed has to be to blur it.

Good one :)

Ron,

Nice shot, I would clone out the solo LH side guy and turn down the sat dial a tad - well done.

[Christopher Miller]

Looks like a keeper to me, Ron! Like the colors and the amount of blur is fine for my taste.

I've been away, so I missed a few days, but I want to thank everyone for the helpful comments. It sounds like it's a keeper! Thanks very much!!
