GBH Repost

All's pretty bleak here in south Mississippi with the chilly rainy conditions, and work has consumed most of my free time. So I thought I'd rework this one, from Bayou Sauvage in late April. Original was tilted two degrees, and too cramped at top and bottom, so I rotated, added canvas and reframed as seemed appropiate.

ISO 100, 1/640 F6.3, -0.3EV

I like it too, Bill. The smooth as glass blue water makes this one work.

Water doesn't come very much smoother than this Bill - sure made for a great reflection. I like the heron, the water color is wonderful and your comp is ideal IMO.

Bill,

I remember when you posted this before and I liked it then, with your rework, I like it even more. The reflection is awesome and the smooth water sure is a bonus. This image feels simple & elegant.

Very well done.
