I'll be this one is fantastic in print!!! The flock of birds in front of the setting sun, is what really makes this image for me; it makes me want to visit this location as well - the sign of a successful image.
 
Well done.

Lately, I'm seeing some really great use of Fuji stuff. I'm with roteague, and now want to vist the everglades...

Robert and Joey,

Thanks for the kind comments. Yes Robert, it is a beautiful print. This cropped 35mm image (cropped some of the bottom of the image to make a 2:1 ratio) as with my other work does have more visual impact the larger it is printed. I have held off printing this to 15" x 30" only due to the present finances and hope to do so shortly. By the way Robert this is a sunrise with the flock of birds flying through the image.

Hi Rich

This is a beautiful image and the I find the cropped proportions more pleasing than full-frame 35mm.

It is the sort of image where you can look and dream away. Not an easy accomplishment.
 
Baxter,

Thank you for the compliment. No matter how long the photographer takes photos and no matter how much experience he/she has, there are times that you just can not get the "right" composition utilyzing all in camera cropping. You have to recognize when this occurs and print accordingly.
