Hi hugh,

Great intensity in this. I'd have thought it's not easy to nail the exposure here. You've done it beautifully!

I like everything but the bird, Hugh. I feel like it is too distracting and disturbs the lines you have. I love the abstract quality you have achieved with the strong use of color.

Sharon

Hi Sharon, thanks for commenting and for the feedback. I try to avoid the 'colored clouds' syndrome by including other elements in the scene. Maybe I go too far on occasion

In any event, glad you enjoyed the image otherwise

Like a nuclear explosion. Very brave.
I like it, the bird too which adds a calmer element.
Ute

Hi Ute, thanks for commenting. Zooming down into a sunrise can create intense contrasts. Glad you enjoyed the 'fire'

. Summer provides a wealth of heat

That's intense alright, really nice shot. Not sure about the bird though, it's a bit small to stand out and blends with the cloud band a bit too much. I think if it were to the lower right over the sun, and a nice black silhouette it'd be great.

Hello Whayne, thanks for commenting, for the compliments, and the suggestion. I've passed it on to the pelican and she promises to do better next time

Sorry, couldn't resist

. Glad you mostly enjoyed the image.

Amazing shot, Hugh. Aside from the obvious intensity of this shot, I don't think I have ever seen such an unusual series of cloud formations.

Very interesting shot, and one that is extremely unique.

Cheers,
Ed

Hello Ed, thanks for the kind compliments. Zooming into the most intense area of a sunrise can produce surprising results. Glad you enjoyed this one

Great catch, Hugh. Beautiful layered sky and light. The pelican is a sweet element to discover!

Barry

Hello Barry, thanks for commenting. Glad you enjoyed the summer intensity. It's not widespread, but zooming in on it is very gratifying, particularly when the birds cooperate

Cool! What great layers in the sky and that bird really tops this off.

+1. Just a truly great shot!

Hello Fo, thanks for the "+1"

Summer color is certainly here, now if it will just spread out a bit. Glad you enjoyed this version.

Well done Hugh. The warm intense colors look great in this crop.

Thanks Tim, the summer color has not been widespread yet, but zooming into it enhances what is there. Glad you enjoyed it.

Hi Rich, thanks for commenting. It's about a 70% crop to get just the most intense portion of the frame, and, of course, the pelican

. Glad you enjoyed the result.

Thanks Paul, the birds are nearly always there, but it's mostly luck to get one in the right place and with a fast enough SS to minimize the blur. Glad you enjoyed this one.
