Reflections - early morning light

darrell-f

I went to Veria Wetlands early this morning and got these shortly after sunrise. The low angle of light and the flat water created almost mirror reflections.
All were taken with my new Canon 30D and 100-400mm L IS at f/10 and 1/1000. Comments and suggestions are requested.

I second that about removing some of the black dots, but only in the upper part of the pic. they take a little away from teh pic. Still they are awesome. My fav is the third, then again, I am partial to spoonbills. :-)

Thanks for your comments.

I usually don't do much image manipulation in Photoshop; in fact the images came from my raw converted (Canon DPP) directly. Sometimes it's not easy to decide how much to change a nature shot, but this time I was just a little lazy. It only took a few minutes to do some clean up. In addition to the spoonbills, there must have been at least a hundred other birds stirring up the bottom.

Here's how it looks with the clean-up.
