Rick: This is a beautiful image. The fog and light add a wonderful mood to the image. Nicely captured. The only thing I'd change is to get rid of the light in the top left corner. It is the only light that color in the entire frame and really pulls my eyes away. Either a crop or a clone would solve it. Wonderful capture!

Kieth,
The ulc was a concern to me also. The sun was peaking thru there and I left it to see what might others think. Thanks and Happy New Year to all.
I agree with comment and will rethink my final image.

Rick. I like the repost much better. Now the trees and the reflection of the trees from a visible compositional element(triangle) that point to the bird. Very nice.

Lovely sunrise scene, Rick. It does look like there might be some problem with conversion somewhere. The bright areas to the left and right of the bird are excessive in the smaller version, but they look fine in the larger version.

It really doesn't get much better than this... the fog, the light, the color and then the bird on top of all of it. The only thing I can say that could improve this image is either cropping out the super bright area in the upper lefthand corner, or cloning in some foliage to make it disappear as it is distracting and doesn't fit in with the rest of the image

A beautiful and very moody scene you captured Rick. I like the re-post better too.

Nice shot thought I'd love to see it less saturated or even in b&w.
