Just sunrise (no animals!)
Sunrise in my back yard today. Just for fun.

Wow, whatta sky! Nice capture! I'm always sold on silhouette against amazing sky. I admit, Bill, I grabbed a copy and quickly played around with it, duplicating the snow section into another layer and applying the Screen blend to brighten it a tad, and it revealed some nice detail! There's a set of footprints leading seemingly into nowhere on the right that adds interest (to me anyway!). Anyway, yours is a beauty!

The footprints in the snow are fox, rabbit and human, mostly rabbit. In fact there was a sharp-shinned hawk in this view a couple of days ago eating one of my bird feeder birds!
My grandson is visiting next week (although I'm too young to have a grandson) and he will love seeing the rabbits.

Wonderful sky and composition. Like the foreground in silhouette. As Paul suggested, maybe a little detail in foreground would enhance; but not necessary.

Bill, you are on a roll.

Great colors and nice texture in the clouds.
