p.1 #1 · Another peaceful morning


On the water before sunrise this morning. So still and not another soul around. One of the few advantages of not being able to sleep. Set the alarm for 4:30 AM and didn't even need it All comments and critiques welcome. Thanks for taking a look !

Doesn't seem to be too quiet for the fish and other aquatic creatures there, Gary!

Number 2 is epic Gary! Love the light and spectral highlights on that one! The last shot with the feather fall is pretty cool too.
Nice work.

A stunning set Gary. For the second, the bright sun reflection on the bottom of the frame pulls my eye off the egret. Possibly a tighter crop or a crop to a panorama might fix this without taking away from the wonderful backlit fish.

Not really, no. My wife always asks; " how come no-one feels sorry for the fish? "

Appreciate the comments Eric. #2 was one of those situations where you're mumbling under your breath; keep walking, keep walking... There was just a sliver of that light where the sun started to peak through.

What bothers me about that photo are the lines at the top of the frame. IMHO if I cropped out those highlights at the bottom it would dumb down the image and the lines at the top would bother me even more. As is I think it's more balanced.
Appreciate your input Morris.

I believe you are correct Gary. If you crop out he bright line on the top you could then crop to balance the rest and leave most of the bottom.

All fantastic, but #4, the reflected green heron, is really spectacular.
