Your colors and the shine on the water here are exquisite James. I love the silhouette of the tree line, and the details in the grasses have just enough light. Nice image!
Ed, thank you for your evaluation of the image. I am not sure how my screen , on my new Mac Book APro , shows on other viewers and their screens. Have a good day!
Immediate response: Gorgeous, unusual colors. Unusual because I don’t think I have seen the color behind the lower parts of the trees with such vibrancy. It is a rosy, pink color on my monitor. I’ve seen a similar color many times here in Washington at the ocean at sunrise, but not as bright and vibrant. Oh, I like inclusion of the ducks.
Jim, appreciate your comments and a bit of your background experiences . The colors in this setting were very dynamic and quickly moved through the spectrum , from the warmer tones to the cooler tones. And yes, the ducks did make a timely entrance.
James,
Flat out gorgeous light in this image and serendipity with the ducks making their entrance for you. I love the different shades of warm color you captured here along with the placement of all the elements in this wetland scene. Beautifully done!
