Rodney,
You can always count on NM and Bosque for great skies. Good to see a different type of image from there. I like the clean edge of the lower border but find the group at the top a bit too close. It you are OK with cloning I suggest removing the two birds closest the top edge.
I like the transition of color and luminance from top to bottom of the image. Well seen and executed image.
Good advise from Robert. A bit lighter might work well. I like the small swirly clouds in the sky. With images like this I will often clean up the frame-edge birds.

Hi Rodney, lovely Bosque sky and classic flight of snow geese in the dawn. Love the colors and clouds and agree that the left and right margins could be cleaned up a bit. For my eye, I would even crop from the top down to the two birds in the right half of the frame. I think the pano crop would work well and help balance the composition. Nicely done.

Rodney, some terrific advice above. nice colors indeed. Do I see one crane in there?
I also think that making it a bit brighter will make it much better. See if you can push the exp. without introducing a lot of noise.
Rodney, Beautiful sky sunrise colors and layers. I like the way you framed this and agree that a liitle edge clean up would be good.![]()
Thanks for all of the comments. I finally had some time to work on a repost. I cleaned up the edges and lightened it a little. I had to reprocess it to keep from getting too much noise while making a lighter.
