This is a beautiful picture. It is great to see that the sign does not forbid taking pictures!!! It is a very sad story you tell us in your note. Do you know why it happened?

Oh, John. Why would anyone do such a thing? Your photo is extraordinary. I love the warm light and the way it backlights the trees. And then the trees and that light are reflected again in the water. It's beautiful. It has a very lonely feel to it. I am glad some of the birds are returning anyway. I REALLY like the "No Hunting" sign. Best wishes,
Shelly

Hey John, how are you doing!
Very nice crop, enhancing the trees line and cutting off probably the black portion on foreground. The sky is special..
Regards,

Yeees John, I like it very much, especial with the sign: No Hunting, really very good. -:)
I like the lightness here very much, the photo is good composed and the figurs from the trees and the water give the best effect here.

Hi John,
Another hauntingly beautiful early morning image with stunning soft light. The terrible story of the murdered birds was somewhat softened by the eight returnees this spring.

Bonjour John,
un coin qui se prête bien aux balades reposantes, celle où l'oeil a le temps de s'attarder sur tous les détails, y compris les couleurs du ciel, les teintes reflétées sur la neige, les reflets dans les eaux.
L'ambiance est feutrée et calme, aidée par ces lumières basses.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Hi John
Interesting moment for taking picture.
You have done a good large version, but I think that it was better to be closer from the shore for the water reflections on the foreground.
It was only a suggestion.
Cheers.

Hi John!
What a place! what a story!Hope they will be safe there now.
I like this photo, the colours, the reflexes on the water, the silhouettes of these trees. Seems a magic place by this time of the day.
Best regards, Anabela

Hi John,
The elegant detail of the tree silhouettes against the bright sky contrast sharply with the depressing story in your note. It's a good thing you had your small daughter with you to bring joy.
I mourn with you and your father the wanton destruction of this breeding ground. It is hard to believe that people can be so filled with hate and anger; especially in a rural area that should lack the urban pressures. HLJ, Pat

Hello John,
Your story reminds a lot of things… . I like your panoramic shape with large version that shows beautiful details. Of course sky and reflections with spectacular silhouettes of trees are wonderful. Congratulations.
Friendly Regards,

Hi John,
Very nice colours for this sky, the light on all this landscape give an original and beautiful result, well also this format, well done.

Hi John - this is quite special, the creepy light and seemingle devastated trees seem fitting to the macabre story, the placement of the no hunting sign especially. Give a bunch of bored idiots guns and beer, something like this is bound to happen.

Hi John. You tell as sad tail of mindless destruction and hope for the future. Nature has one thing on her side, Time, and lets hope she has enough of it to repair the sins of man. Excellent photo. Well captured and presented, very poignant. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Hi John
Nice comp and warm colors. The trees provide some great repetition. The no hunting sign kind of interupts the natural beauty of the place by adding an out of place human element. Anyhow really well done.

This is truly heartbreaking, both the story and the actual image. The dark colours you've chosen are truly mourning colours and the dimly seen "No Hunting" sign adds a strong note of irony.
