We took a walk this last Saturday and this is one of the pics I took. Thanks for looking and comments welcomed.
I was using my Sony a700 and Sony 18-250 lens.

    Very nice, Ron! The only thing I would change about this is to crop the bottom up just a little bit more to just get the cattails. thumb.gif

    Thanks schmoo. I hope that someday I figure out composition better!! Is this what you are talking about? I had wondered if that may be better.

    Thanks, Ron

    Ron, that's exactly what I had in mind! I like it better, myself but of course you're the artist. :D

    I am interested in others opinions also as to which one they like better, or at all.

    Thanks, Ron

    I prefer the cropped version as well. Nice shot!
    Canon 7D and some stuff that sticks on the end of it.

    Exquisite capture Ron. They are both great, but I actually prefer your original (but what do I know). clap.gifclap.gif

    Thanks for the comments all. I am actually having a hard time deciding which version that I prefer.

    I like them both very much. However, if I had to vote, I would choose the cropped version. By the way, where is this? You definately have a very nice place to take a walk!thumb.gif

    I like them both a lot Ron, but think that I lean towards the cropped version.

    Was this an HDR shot or one shot? Very well done imho.

    Great shot with beautiful light, Ron! I like the cropped version even more! :D
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.
