Bolsa Chica Morning

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted September 8, 201176 views9 comments

A few of my non-photographer friends asked why I leave so early in the morning to photograph birds. I took this to show them and remind me of the beauty you can find even in suburban Southern California. I thought the bridge at Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve would qualify this image for the challenge.

Lovely sunrise and the silhouette of the walkway is a nice addition. I would like to be able to distinguish between the walkway and the land it's leading to, is a slight burning in of the darks possible?

Fantastic sky and your lead-in line with the bridge works really well. Beautiful color, too.

Nice! I love the light show in the sky, and the glowing water too!

Beautiful sunrise Harry.
The leading lines of the bridge are nice as well as the sunrise captured in the sky and water.

Great image Skip, I forgot about the vista you can get from the ecological reserve. There's allot of nice birds down here as well.

Great sunset, an excellent exposure and good choice of composition, Harry. Very nicely done and I think it fits the challenge very well.
