Early morning walk pays off
p.1 #1Early morning walk pays off
Been a while since I've posted, been busy with life, family and work... sorry for not sharing more.
The good news is, I have a new-old place to haunt, right in my own back yard. Our neighborhood park had become overgrown with hardly any shoreline access to Allen's creek which flows through our retention area... but they finally brought in some heavy equipment and cut some of it back. In hindsight, it may have been a good thing and allowed time for the natural wet land to recover and for some wildlife to return. For those that often note my mid-day harsh light shots in the Florida sun, they may finally find some solace here in this post
Thanks for looking.
Eric
First batch
Maybe he won't see me if I stay low?

Same pair, as they passed different back drops... I tried upper third vs lower third to catch the different colors they passed.

The first and last are my picks Eric. I like the partially obscured bunney with the specular highlights in that first image.

Thanks Morris! I like that one too... I have one with him squeezing his eyes shut tight crouched low, reminding me of a little kid, like, if I can't see them, they can't see me when playing hide and seek. Heh!

The second and last are very appealing to my eyes Eric, nice work including some environment for color, texture and depth!

Thanks y'all! It felt so good to have a camera in-hand again and get some fresh air... this world can be a pressure cooker sometimes... gotta decompress!

Thanks everyone, it was a very enjoyable walk, which I think makes the picture taking go better, didn't even break a sweat that early in the morning, was still cool out, heh. More coming in next post.

Looks like a fine 'pay-off' to me.
I'm with others, No.'s 2 & 4 are standouts. Nice rich colors in #4!
#2 looks like a scene from a 'Bunny Dream'.
