"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man." -- George Bernard Shaw
Excellent image. You captured the moment and gave it a sense of life with birds. Great colors, and although it is a bit dark I don't know that I would want you to brighten it; the darkness of the image adds drama.
Great capture with excellent colors. Like the birds too. I do see quite a bit of noise in the sky and clouds but that could easily be remedied with Neat Image. You can download that for free here - give it a try - it works pretty well -
