    Went walking around in the woods to check out some of the flooding. Nothing too special here but thought I would get some opinions.

    Photography is more than just taking a picture and freezing the action, or leaving the shutter open. It is more than orchestrating the image with the stroke of a brush. Its the realization and explanation that reality is an isolated experience in which only a specific individual can comprehend during any given time period. - Your Truly!

    I really like the second one....took me a second to figure out it was a reflection of the trees in the water. The green is nice reflected in the water as well.

    I like the second one. You know what, I think it would be a super image if you had gotten only a foot or so of the actual trees and a lot more of their reflections.

    But that's just me, nothing wrong with it like it is.

    What is this place with the black water?

    Love the Squirrel! And is that a Magpie Goose? Hmmm don't think so. Know what it is?

    I'm going with the reflection shot also.

    Thats what I was thinking when I got home to look at the images. I tried but I was close to wide open at iso 800 with maybe a 1/200 shutter speed. It was also close to 300mm as well, everything was flooded and it was the only way to get the shot. Hopefully I can go back while the water is still up and try again. Thanks again everyone.

    MA, yep Canadian Goose. They are everywhere around here and are quite willing to attack you if you get too close to their nest. Avg 20lbs a bird, thats quite a treat.

    Is the area a natural wetland? It looks like it's prone to flooding on a regular basis.

    Next question. Are there any ferns there?
