Default Lost to the swamp
Guess this boat has seen better days. Edge of Caroni swamp.

Michael that is a Beautiful Capture! Man I'd love to be able to shoot there. Just one shot and you have 4 birds. Great Composition and your depth of field is pefect! This is a keeper for sure!
Thanks for Sharing this
Michael.

Wow, looks pretty mucky. I sure hope it had some good days. Nice intersting shot.

Michael, it really was beautiful, lots of scarlet ibis too, but they were too far for a good shot. Thanks for the comment.

It was mucky, but the wildlife was so abundant and I didn't have to go into it. Thnks for viewing.

What a great find, I like this picture, and can imagine how this boat has decayed over many years since being abandoned.
I like your interpretation of the boat, the fairly low angle, and how you captured the reflections of the sky. I like how the mud is now keeping it together, and how it's become the home for thousands of smaller guests. Great picture, and one that I would consider framing.
