Good job, neighbor. I'm in Schertz. Guess you made out ok with all the flooding? I love the longhorns too. I always want to shoot them, but wonder what I might do with the shots afterward... You know... Its not like they are family and I can hang them on the wall or anything... LOL
I recently read an article that said dragonflies are hard to shoot. I have never actually tried, but the wings are still and I think you must have been really successful. Good work!
I disagree about cropping the onlookers out. He has a handicap (most likely due to his service) and they are interested... That is the story in my mind. I love this shot, but I am not an expert. Thanks for sharing!
I enjoy Shutterfly. You create your own website of sorts or you can just upload and share. They give you discounts for prints once you start up with them too!
I see why the darker appealed to you. I like the trees better here, but the boat better in the original. That might take some layers to fix, and that is not my area, but I like where this is going!!
