Good morning

Taken in the morning an hour after sunrise. Taken in RAW format, changed white balance to cloudy to warm up the water. Also used a gradient at the top and a slight vignette.

A very pleasing feel to this shot Todd. Would like to see the 1200 px version for detail. Looks like the whites might have a slight blue cast to them.

I like the soft feel to this image, Todd. The subtle morning light works great. Maybe just a very slight CW rotation to level the water.

This is a very lovely comp with a peaceful feel to it. I wish the glow on the water extended beyond the swan a little more but it is still an excellent shot.

An intersting transition of light to dark and I like the mood of this, it would of been great if the head where in the light but nice as presented.

I really like the mood of this shot. I do think it needs a tiny amount of CW rotation...maybe 3%. I am not a huge fan of centered comps, but some shots just make sense to do it and for me, this is one of those.
