Birds honouring the sunrise
comments (53)
lovely light & the birds are doing what they must do. There's a mystical feel to this. Crop the top 10% out & it's a real winner!!
richard standley: Many thanks for your kind appreciation and for your advice Dave
Nice atmosphere!
richard standley: Many thanks Martin
très beau avec les couches superposées de lumière...
richard standley: Merci beaucoup Wolfgang
The low light at this time is very nice. Flight of the birds in that 'middle strip' of your shot is quite majestic! I wouldn't crop the top out actually, I think you'd lose some balance in the shot; I think your framing is just right.
richard standley: Many thanks for your very kind appreciation Daroru
That is the best sunrise shot I have seen in a looooong time.

I love the horizontal yellow and organge bands in your sunrise photo. Sunrise is the most magical moment of the day to me. Your photo has captured that magical atmosphere beautifully.

It has a mellow mood with the streaks of gray and pink.

Atmosphère hivernale bien restituée..Il s'en vont dormir.
richard standley: Merci beaucoup Michel
What a beauty, Richard! Fantastic sky and I just love the birds flying around at different distances.
richard standley: Many thanks for your kind appreciation Carla.
I would go further and letterbox this cropping the foreground to pretty well those trees and about 25% of the sky. That would make a good picture even better for me.
richard standley: Many thanks for your kind advice Bill. I'll try cropping it and see how it goes.
Great shot. The peace of the endless rolling land and the sunrise is matched perfectly with the dynamism of the birds. I can almost hear them sing or screech
richard standley: Many thanks for your kind appreciation Anshul.
A fine sunrise shot with the display of birds.
I like how one principal bird get our first attention, then the others and the wonderful glow. Fine image.

Today is a big Chinese NY parade but I don't want to be out in the rain. So inspiring. It brings back memories of when I lived in Village Neuf, FR - near Basel.

The birth of a new day! Well captured. I love the early morning light and the birds in the orange light.
