Walk in the woods

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?

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?

I just want to cuddle the Squirrel! Beautiful shot.

Glad you said that. It is a natural wetland. State forest actually, that does not get touched. Pretty large area from an urban standpoint. I travel and roam around there quite frequently.

Its a nothing extraordinary, until you really get into it. There aren't the spectacular landscapes of the North but inside it, its unique. There are TONS of ferns, Tons of shade and dead leaves, and TONS of mosquitos. I thought I posted some of them a while ago. I can post them again if you are really interested.

Went back out today. Let me know if these are any better than the others. Thanks.

After looking at them on the site. I will say no for you.

i like that last shot - you cant tell where the water starts!

I like all the reflection shots - well done spotting them. My fave is the last shot in post 13. I REALLY like that one!! I might try to burn the light coloured branch in the mid-foreground.
