Back to the Swamp...

Thanks again to ITF for introducing us to the very wonderful Honey Island Swamp preserve in Slidell.

1. #3 is just incredible

Love to see the uncropped version just to see what else was originally in the shot. But it is just fabulus as presented here.

3. As you wish...

We were on a moving boat and the heron was preparing for takeoff - thus the blur - but I still kind of like it.

4. Even better uncropped, IMHO

Love it!

5. I debated that in my own mind...

Thanks for the input. I wish it were more in focus, but in a way, I kind of like the hint of movement.

6. That's one reason why it's so eyecatching

7. InTheFlow's got pix of this bird, too

I wish she'd post some of hers. I took quite a few, but this was the best of my bunch.

8. If next month's contest theme is "pictures of that particular heron"

Well, it'll be a small but enjoyable contest.

9. Your wish is my command.

10. Very nice...

Yours are so much more in focus than mine. I probably should have had the camera set on one of those presets. I guess I'll have to come back down there and try again. :)

11. Now now

One of the best things about any art form is the opportunity for the artist to say, "I meant to do that." I'd assumed you did from the start, and I see the photo that way every time I look at it.

2. Quite a different world. (at least for me)

Very nice.....
