    Thank you very much for the comments ! I appreciate it !

    Keep trying Bambi you will get a nice marsh (bulrush) shot for sure.
    I have tried many times my self. The problem with bulrushes is they
    crate alot of clutter (busy).

    The trick is to find something in the marsh that is different, a bird, animal
    or tracks and include a subject in the marsh so the eye has something to
    anchor on. Even if it is very small like in this case a single bulrush standing.

    SAFETY NOTE for everyone: Marshes are still ponds for the most part and can
    have thin ice. Stay on the marked trails and just zoom in on the key areas.

    Take care,
    Dwayne Oakes

    I like it and am drawn to the same kinds of places. isn't this a cattail though? Maybe they're the same thing with different names. Still processing some shots in a cattail marsh myself and should have them tomorrow.
