Nice shot. Was wondering where the photo was taken. Have always wanted to see them.

Very nice family portrait. I might bring the whites down a bit.

Sweet, Bob. Was the water really that blue or is this a bit oversaturated? Lovely light on the cranes and nice poses, with a good look at the eyes. Was this from one of the boats at Aransas?

Good family portrait. They don't seem bothered by you at all. I like the comp, and would also bring down the whites a bit, but good image, Bob.
