What a great composition, i love that you have added the butterflies to this beautiful sunrise, their colors compliment the sunrise so very well. the sunrise by itself, with the lovely reflection stands well on it's own, but i think the addition of the butterflies gives it a magical quality!

I love the sunrise image with the silhouetted trees reflected on the lake.
Not keen on the addition of the butterflies I think the beauty of the scene didn't need the enhancement.
The colors are breathtaking and the focus and dof are perfect.

Hi Jodi, The sunset is pretty spectacular by itself, but with the added butterflies it is spectacular! MY heart took wing when I saw this lovely image. Love the way you arranged the butterflies. The spacing and flight path is perfect! No problems with the lighting or focus in this image. This definitely made me smile and feel that Spring is getting so close now. I love the image and the feeling! :o) Nancy

I was trying to figure out how you have the butterflies stand out against the sunrise. I thought you used a flash.Then I read the notes. The butterflies do look good in the photo. Sometimes you need to try something different. You did.

I recognise this lake and the trees. The sundown sky is so nice and the butterflies are a wonderful touch. I wouldn't mind sitting down breaking out the chard and sip some wine and watch the day end. The colors are truely beautiful. Ray

Jodi,
A beautiful dawn over Lake Beckwith with the trees on the far shore in silhouette along with the beautiful colours in the sky then reflected on lake's mirror like surface the addition of the Fritillary butterflies are an added bonus. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques& sharp focus.

Different aspect Jodi to the image not sure it improves it though because it looks quite good as it was in fact i think it would have been better as it was but guess we all have different views on things...Brian

I love this interesting and lovely looking mixed media photography. Creative effort, indeed. The light and shadows, colours and composition have worked out well. Good effort!

That's Really Cool,Jodi!
It's a fine looking image that's got a 'Delightfully Unusual' kind of a tone to it! : D
It's very Nicely-Presented and I'm enjoying it very much!
