Wow, the sky is amazing. I just can't seem to get up early enough to enjoy these moments in real life. Luckily, you have caught it for us. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Judy,

That bird is the first thing I spotted in this sublime scene, but I had no idea that it was a bald eagle. This is a serene and surreal view.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hello Judy,
The morning sky is really attractive and beautiful. I like the composition with the silhouetted foreground. The bald eagle sitting on the branch of the tree is a lovely, intriguing detail. My compliments!
Warmest greetings,
Lasse

Allô Judy!
Magnifique prise de vue et merveilleuse lumière matinale. Dans toute cette tranquillité, il me semble entendre le chant de l'oiseau en haut de l'arbre. Beau travail et superbes couleurs.
Cordiales salutations,
Emilius

Dear Judy

This morning I took some time out to stop by at your site, just for relaxation. Your shot is an excellent capture of the morning light with very nice hues of red to yellow. Sharpness and DOF are great. You certainly used a tripod to get it right. I would love to sit or stand there and watch the sunrise, just to be with nature and no modern time hurry. Well done.

Best regards
Urs

Bonjour Judy,
j'aime beaucoup ta galerie pour les photos de nature qu'elle expose, et cela dans diverses conditions de lumières.
Ici, une photo reposante et des teintes chaudes dans des éclairages doux, un contre jour qui laisse se détacher de bien belles silhouettes d'arbres.
Excellent cadrage.
Amicalement.
Daniel.

Hello Judy
Composed very well. Like how the high trees in silhouette on the left pans out in a gentle curve along the mountain slopes to the right. Lovely colours in the sky & reflected in the water. Technically this is just fine, that too handheld!..thanks for sharing this serene natural beauty
