 My wife and my parents and I all went down to Bosque del Apache this weekend. We were hoping to see some cool birds and sunsets, but there weren't too many to be had. I am not much of a landscape photographer, but I think this turned out pretty good.

Really well-done. I like the emphasis on the clouds and the placement of the flying birds.

Nice image you captured. But I would have cropped it differently. The upper half of it has little to offer. I would have had less cloud and more foreground or at least have the birds higher up. But in all a good and well exposed picture.

Not a bad shot, but it seems a bit oversharpened for my taste and while the clouds add nice texture, overall it seems a little flat.
