Another discovery along the road in King's Canyon. The color of the backlighting made me stop for this one. All comments welcome. >=))>

The DOF that you've chosen is perfect for this. I love the soft colorful BG. Great shot Bill.

The lighting is superb, Bill. Love the dof and I really like the one blade caressing the cattail. Superbly done

Good grief there have been so many good shots lately, this among them. I absolutely like this, Bill. The contrast in sharpness between the FG and BG, plus the rich warm tone make this a real keeper.

Lovely lighting, comp and dof. The backlighting and the golden glow really sets this image apart from the norm.

A beauty. The glowing BG with the diagonals weaving among the vertical lines make this a real treat.

Bill,

I don't know if you will see this comment since this was posted last year. I was going through older posts and this one struck me. It is beautiful and very much to my taste. Wonderful work.
