This was taken at the main empoundment, a very large and shallow man-made bird wading pool, if you will.
All comments are welcome and much appreciated.
Hey Ron, Nice blastoff!! I like the graduated color of the sky and the lessening of birds from the bottom to the top. I also like how you minimalized the water. Good job!
I like this as presented. It tells a story and the colors seem natural. You did not mention any post production in the narrative, nice job keeping it real. I love habitat nature shots and this is a good one for sure.
Print this baby in color and hang it.

Hi Ron....I really like this image...it really looks like an explosion upward of birds. I agree with Jeff....print this one big and hang it with pride. Love it!
Thank you all for the positive feedback. I was happy with this image, and your comments help validate my feeling that I got it right. Once in a while everything seems to come together well. Thanks for posting; I really appreciate it.
