Here's one flying under the radar and, casting a shadow on the water :-)
Photographed from above on the pier looking down.

    Good capture Mark. The shadow really makes the shot.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I live for different perspectives..........
    One of my goals in shooting my subjects is to capture a view not always seen or a view that is different from the usual. I don't always succeed but, who can?

    Thank you for your comments,

    Another awesome shot, and I agree it's the angle that makes this one special. thumb.gif
