Love it!!

Lovely... so simple, yet evocative!
Thanks!
Well done - can't keep my eyes off it...
Hi Chriss,
Have you tried viewing it here in the Lytebox and scrolling it off the top of the browser window to effectively crop it across the top of the cloud?
This puts the lake/river horizon nearer a third and loses the 'white out' portion of sky - I think it makes it an even more beautiful picture - what do you think?
Cheers,

Absolutely beautiful image Chris!
The crop was a nice improvement to the image.

Hi Chriss, enquiring minds (well, OK, perhaps it is only my mind) would like to know the basic steps you used to take the image from SOOC to the rendition we see here.
For me, what you have done here is one of the reasons that I feel post processing is neccessary to bring out the best in an image.
Ditto to the preceding message. I'm just as curious and eager to learn as Frank.
Magician, tell us your secret.
Abrakadabra RAW! LOL
There's not secret to it and everything was done using Lightroom 3.
Here's the recipe:
Drop down the exposure(not too much because this creates noise), bump up my Vibrance till it shows colors, then added a gradient filter with some purple tone that kinda match the sky for that time of the day. Crop and added some noise reduction to it.
Frank,
I actually got few of the images similar to this and that are properly exposed. But the problem is the Geese's head is turned in an odd way not like the image above. Also this past Monday Jim Zuckerman was our speaker for our local photography group and I might apply his technique on using 2 images.
Get the property expose image and then replace the geese like this on I have above.
I'll post it here once I get to it later.
I like this one too! Love the background.

How did I miss this? Beautiful, Chriss.
I saw a shot very similar to this when I was on my way north last weekend to visit my dad. Glad I wasn't able to stop - my effort would not have matched this.
