Challenge: Posthumous Ribbon (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Olympus E-5

Aperture: f/5
ISO: 200

A busy day on the pond at Higashiyama Park, Nagoya. Within the short while I watched the egret, each and every boat that came close tried to get as close as possible to the bird...
The egret, obviously used to "pandas" and "swans" didn't fly away, but continued fishing!

Disappointingly low rating! Wish, I hadn't entered this challenge!

The idea behind the Posthumous Ribbon is to encourage you to break the rules, to find new and different ways to express yourself. To free your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come, to laugh at world and at life, not doing what others are expecting you to do, but just following and listening to what's in your heart. DPC it’s a wonderful learning place where everyone should be supported on their way to be a photographer. A special attention should be aimed to those working hard with different views and approaches to photography, those not aligned with the mainstream taste and receiving no recognition. It’s our responsibility to support these photographers creating diversity and expressing different visions. Being active at the Posthumous thread it’s the best way to do it. Being active at the Posthumous thread it’s the best way to protect your and the other’s freedom of being different. Thanks for taking the time to enter this challenge. Stay wild.

Subtle, but funny the more time you spend with it.

This is actually a really nice capture that tells a small part of a story. I think it will be under-rated though. The colors and composition could be adjusted for slightly more appeal I think … perhaps hacking off some of the right and top.

It's almost too bad that the panda, family and plastic boat was in the way. The egret is beautifully captured.
