Foggy Ridgfield Afternoon
Left Washougal in the bright sun but by the time I got to Ridgfield it was hard to see across the bridge at the entrance. A group of photographers were standing around, had been there for over 3 hrs. About 1:00pm things got brighter. Lots of Tundra Swans.
Went to try out new 18-200 VR.
D200, ASA400, 138MM,F6.0,1/1500sec, Hand held.

Not sure what catagory this type of image falls in.

A beautiful scene Jerry! Those swans are lovely.

Yep, it is a nice scene and those swans are great to see. I sure wish I had gotten a few of those in one of the shots I'd taken at Lake Lytle!

What a great shot! Well done, Jerry. So much to look at here!

Nice layers and mood. I just might want to do away with some of the foreground weeds if it were mine.

Agree with what was said. Beautiful scene, comp, and mood.

This is nice, Jerry - I need to get back up there again....

Thanks all. As soon as I posted it I thought I should have cropped the bottom to above the brown weeds at least.
Interesting up there now as there are duck hunters shoting on the north side as you drive around. One lone bald eagle did a high fly by and spooked all the canadian geese.
