The interest of this picture is that it is the natural colour, totally unprocessed. I let you imagine the atmosphere of the scene, with all the bird noises.
Love the colour, and the birds were first to catch my attention. I guess their number silhouetted against the sky. But it was silent until I read your narrative which instantly switched on the "sound" in my mind. Perhaps an example of things that I take for granted.
Love the golden tones and the way the sky reflects on the water. I can imagine the atmosphere with all those birds in the photo. The tones are so warm.
Excellent capture. Love the consistent colour palette here. And the birds are really clear. It all comes together around them, even tho' they are such a small overall component of the composition. Great impact. Well done.
