I got to go to my happy place! Chincoteague, VA. I hadn't been there since July. I missed my bird friends!
If only there was enough light to have a deeper DOF — check out the fish!!

Ok -- it was painful again. Was exciting an unreal, was at 8+ until vote 17, and then down each vote. So close to getting a profile shot. But now it's back out of reach.
Stop teasing me, people!

Thanks for the comments. (And it was funny that it wasn't a calendar challenge, it was pretty much an "october" challenge. :)

And yup! It was the very edge of a small crabbing area along the ditch. Early morning, no ripples!
So tantalizingly choose to a profile shot again!

Wow...look at the decisive discrepancy between the blue and everything else! :-) Little wonder, of course. This is as close as a photo gets to an oil painting, I think, while still feeling distinctively photographic. Roz already said it best.
what the heck ..
this is amazing .. magical .. and in my reality impossible to create with a camera .. many congratulations in advance on the blue ribbon you will surely receive .. 🙂
