 Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote and comment. I appreciate it very much! This was a special morning, and I was treated to various colors and tones I'd never witnessed before, starting with a deep garnet. It was nice to have a muse along for the ride.

Minimalism done beautifully... The soft orange water, the tiny bird, and the gentle ripples all work together so well. Also, what a great high score. Congratulations, wildiris! 🫶🏻

Such an incredible in-camera composition. Proof that sometimes less is most definitely more when you have the eye for it. :-) Congrats!

Perfect composition. The colour gradient leads the eye to the bird, which stands out wonderfully. Amazing.
