This is going to be one of my favorites of your images, Les. Love the muted pastels and misty horizon and reflections that give way to the sharper definition of the golden grass in the foreground. The birds breaking the stillness are the perfect touch. #847926Paul Michko February 06, 2008
This is fantastic, Les. I see the birds flew in on cue. ;) #5451179Les Rhoades February 06, 2008
