first off, I found a very cooperative heron.

The I decided to shoot for high contrast this time.

(20,886 posts)Fog again. (I almost didn't go, but half the fun is adapting to what nature throws at you.) And no people. Tons of geese (and geese poop), blackbirds, swallows and plenty of grebes. I stood for a long time just listening to the sounds.

I like these. I could see them on the wall in a nice home.
Edit to add: E.S. Curtis is one of my favorite photographers. My GG grandfather purchased several of his prints when he lived in Seattle. I inherited a copy of this one:

(19,459 posts)Craig and Cathy Hall's place would be my first choice. Waxed and highly polished plaster interior walls. They would look great there.
I edited my post to show the one I have hanging in our home. Simply drywall background, however.

(20,886 posts)Now all I have to do is get them seen. I wonder if Mumm is still doing shows?

(19,459 posts)They're both good Dem's.
Ten years ago I could have walked them in to the house for you.
Seriously, though, those are very nice and it wouldn't surprise me a bit to come across them in a nice home.

The fourth and fifth especially.
On the fifth, is there a bit more to be found on the left?, or would you consider taking off half the space of water after the grasses on the right? And then just a hair off the bottom.
I adore this photograph and I would hang it and treasure it.
Same with the fourth one.
You are on a roll with these.

(20,886 posts)I'll take a look at cropping and see what it looks like.

(22,694 posts)It's beauty is almost imperceptible.
The changes may make it total perfection to my eyes only
- and I appreciate your willingness to crop it that way to see.
