    I really like the 2nd ducky shot and the dragon fly the best.thumb.gif You may want to tune the exposure down on the egrets though so you can get more detail out of the highlighted white areas.

    That swamp water looks soo cool though...always makes me wonder whats lurking in there.

    Very nice set, Marina. I like the mood in the first shot, and the angle in the last one, of which the last one is my favorite. Thanks for sharing.

    Anhinga
    Cool pics. I just drove 2800 miles to get down to FL and enjoy all of the great birds! The bird on the gate is a male anhinga. They are really neat to watch.
