Amazed this hasn't had a comment yet. It's a beautiful shot, superb sky and the birds (not geese or ducks I assume with those very full wing-beats, maybe large gulls ?) add a point of focus. It's a shot that would look great printed and on a wall. No idea where LBI is so would appreciate a little more info for us non-Americans !

Loads of personality in the sky I think you captured well. The birds against the bright portion of the background in silhouette are an excellent touch.

To Frogfish, as a way of improving my landscape photography, what would be a good point of focus? I understand what you're saying but I thought the birds would work.

Impressive image but possibly a little saturated for my taste, sky is incredible, birds work very well. While the pier adds lots of interest to the foreground, it seems a bit dark and slightly blocked up. Of course, trying to open up the pier might not work either, just a thought.

Thanks for the comments folks. LBI is Long Beach Island, NJ. It is a barrier island in the southern part of NJ, 18 miles long, and in some places only one block wide. It is not common for the bay to freeze, as it is tidal, and salt water, but this winter it did. Yes the birds are either geese or ducks, both plentiful here.
This was a very dramatic sky that evening. I did expose for the sky, at the expense of the pier/docks, no time to set up an HDR sequence.
Thanks again for looking.

PS the 16-35 is an image stabilized lens, useful for me at age 78. I printed this image to 16"x24" for a recent exhibit, and it easily goes that large.

To show how the sky here in winter changes dramatically, here is a shot from about the same spot made 10 days later (this time with a Nikon D800E and 24~70 f2.8 Tamron VC lens). Earlier shot made Feb 7, this one Feb 17.
Thanks for looking

I like these both very much, David...
I enjoy texture, and these are loaded...
Well captured!
