[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Sunrise was pretty but not spectacular this day until the pelican graced my view. Fishing Bridge is a classic place to take sunrise photos in Yellowstone, so I felt lucky to also get movement of the bird in my frame!

Hi Dave,
A warm welcome to TN. : )
This is a gorgeous scene. The sunset is pure gold.
And you are right... That lone pelican sure takes this already beautiful composition up one notch.
Thanks for sharing. : )

Hello Dave,
A breathtaking scene!! Gorgeous colors with wonderful reflection!! The pelican creating the rippled trail was definitely a plus in this fantastic sunrise photo.

More than a typical postcard shot of Yellowstone, Dave. Nicely composed, great light, and the color of the dawn is really stunning. Some days it's worht it to get up early, and I'd say this was one.

Hi Dave,
A very beautiful photo captured in one of the most beautiful locations in the world. The inclusion of the Pelican and the details in the distant shore are both very nice. The few OE spots in the sky are not making the photo less beautiful.
TFS,
Niek
