This is a bit of a travel shot but it really captures both my wife whom I love and Washington Park of which I also am very fond. I can easily while away a whole weekend hanging out in this reclusive park with it's aged trees and scenic backdrops.

We spent the whole day lazing around the south side of this park. Lunch was spent watching porpoises going back and forth through Burrows Straight while Bald Eagles flew just a few feet over our heads. Leaving from such a royal day was agony!!

Rick,
A very cool scene nicely captured. The model, I would have to say, is the reason. :smile:

Thanks folks!!

I did our first 17x22 print off of the Epson 4800 last night. It was this image and other than redoing the sharpening it looks fabulous!! It's a bit oversharpened for 17x22, showing some halos around that big old tree... Easily fixed though.

Nice view of the park. As you say, the park is a beautiful spot with a lot of public waterfront.
A San Juan Island feeling without having to take the ferry.
