Pond at Parker Meadow

A good scene. I find my eyes searching the shore for a subject. On my monitor, the reflection in the water is quite bright, which seems a bit unnatural. The clouds above the tree line are plain. The trees and leaves are detailed and appear to be in focus, but seem to clutter. I do like your effort at controling detail in the shadows.

I actually knew this was a Wilson's Where the heck did I get Bell's from??? LOL Thanks for pointing out my error so that I would only be embarrassed for a few moments. :

I have been humbled many times. Through binoculars, I once thought I had spotted a RT Hawk. Reported my sighting to a fairly large group of birders. Turns out it was a Monarch Butterfly. They remind me of that mistake often.
