Topsail Marshes

your thoughts are welcome

 

Painted effects are intentional...

Firse-class composition, the effects are beautiful, 7/7

Nice capture!

a magic image!!!!!

Very nice shot, regards...

Were you using a polarizer?

Awe......So beautiful! I love it!

Nice lines, true to the visual grid and well exposed. The water is washed out. I might darken it a bit. Well done.

Nice Capture Regina, and execution. Pnina

Ahhhhh. So nice.

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. I didn't use a polarizer, perhaps that would have inproved the brightness of the water.

 

So glad you like it Jayme. It is your recent work with impressionistic shots that inspired me.

I would have used a polarizer, dialed up to its maximum filtration, and I think that would have been a mistake. I like the bright water in your image, especially since it forms somewhat of a diagonal line.

I like the simplicity of this. The eagret is well positioned and the colours are very complementary.

I'm honored. This is so soft and pleasant, it makes me want to take off my shoes and wade in!

The pastel-like quality of the grasses are just lovely, and the egret a happy bonus!

Just a half second after I snapped this, my son caught a shot with the birds head imersed in the water as he grabbed his dinner (a fish). His timing was better than mine, but I like the anticipation in the pose here.

Love the colors and the lines this makes. Nice capture!

I really like this, Regina. I bet that the original is nice, too.

 

Was this near Topsail Beach? You are really getting to know the coast, aren't you?

Great shot Regina. The effects really add to the shot.

I like the effects!

Lannie, this is basically across the street from the beach. We were waiting fo the sun to go down to get sunset shots, so walked across the street to a small park behind a diving shop. The little inlet sort of glowed in the late day sun. We watched this egret for quite a few minutes. My son actually got a pic of him diving in for a fish. We then crossed back over to the beach side near the long peir and took several sunset shots (I have posted a couple) all in all a very fun day. We are about 2.5 hr drive from the beach and about 4 hours from the mountains. NC seems to offer a lot off photo opps. Going to Biltmore in Nov. I know the leaves will be gone by then, but am hoping for some good shots... maybe even some snow if we get lucky.

Great colours and Bird!

Almost like being there. Nice capture Regina

presentaion and compositon work well here...one to blow up and hang on your wall ( or sell it it and let them hang it up)
