Default On The Waterfront

This is a heavily post processed image ... the original is out of focus, washed out colors, etc .. I was using a 225mm lens - Hand Held ... I guess the hands are not as sturdy as they once was

It's still a very very pretty and peaceful looking shot.

it's like a painting Haywood .. I love the reflections and all that color .. I sometimes play around with one of my photos and make something new.. this is kinda like that .. Plus I love Egrets and you got quite a few in Frame .. the weeping willow in the background is great .. the white shapes of the birds in the water with that lush background look good with a soft feel. Maybe not one of you all time best as far as focus, but still a pretty view and well worth sharing !

Well if it was out of focus, you've done a good job of saving it. I like the colors and the reflections.

For something that you don't seem to like at first, it turned out pretty well.

I like this a lot, it is soft and peaceful, and I too love the egrets, I don't think I've ever seen so many in one spot together. Glad you saved this one, you did a nice job.

Hi Hayward! This is really a nice capture, regardless of the processing. I love that you captured so many and their reflections. Very nice, as always. Love seeing your work.
