oh, cool, David! From the thumbnail, I thought this was accidentally in the wrong gallery, but was glad because I haven't seen any of your images for too long. great comp, great mood, and the bird is a hidden treat.

David, Lovely image. This image teaches me to look for opportunities even in unusual lighting conditions. This has a very calming feeling.

Ethereal is the first word that comes to mind. The old dead tree is perfect for this image. Great composition and technical execution.

This is a really beautiful birdscape. The dead tree looks stark and beautiful in the heavy fog and the bird is just visible enough but doesn't stand out enough to destroy mood of the shot. When I first saw the thumbnail I thought "Humm, doesn't look like much from this but I better check it out just in case" and I'm glad I did because it is a nice shot and it led me to check out your gallery. You really make Louisiana look like a beautiful and mysterious place.
