    Funny...you call them bullrushes, we call them cattails. They are irresistible aren't they? I like your subdued tones and composition.

    We call 'em cat tails too sometimes. Out on the west coast I always knew them as bullrushes.
    and thanks for the kind words...

    We call them Bullrushes here ... or just Reeds.

    Usually I'm not drawn to photos of them as I find them quite boring and bland.

    But this photo works ... the sky is the key here for me. Composition is nice too. Nice shot.

    I call them "rietsigaren" which roughly translates as reed sigars. One of the few things I wouldn't smoke though...

    I like the angle and the sky. Nice shot.
    Listen, three eyes, don't you try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.

    Used the polarizing filter I bought for the wide angle on this one...I think I did it right...had the sun at my side in afternoon when I took it.

    Any tips or help if I did anything wrong with the filter here would be most appreciated...thanks.

    Even better than the 1st shot in my opinion. Again the sky is the key for me, it makes the bushrushes stand out and adds interest.
