Default The survivors ...

I took these on my walk around the lakes... these were the only survivors of all the photos I took. I didn't pay close enough attention to the settings and was very disappointed with the outcome...lesson learned.

I think these shots are brilliant. The scenery in the first is spectacular, it is well balanced with the snow capped mountains in the distance and the reflection on the water through the middle with the grasses in the foreground. Great detail in the two geese and the white isn't blown like I often have trouble with. I can't see anything wrong with the settings in either shot. Thanks for sharing.

Well, these are definitely keepers. I do that with my settings sometimes also, I guess we just get so excited about getting the shot!
