Very nice images. Since I have acquire information about editing photos I have come to realize that I see more and more images that have the traces of composition. Hope you have good photo capturing. Keep up the good work.

There are several areas that constitute the refuge. It includes over 1,000 acres and over 10 miles of walking trails. It's also called, Tinicum Marsh. It may have been referred to as the swamp prior to 1972 when Congress passed legislation protecting the marsh and turned it into an environmental center. There's constant debris flowing in from the Schuylkill and Delaware Rivers and volunteers can be seen periodically doing clean-up. Without this effort the refuge might still be referred to as a swamp, but I haven't heard that term being used at all now.

Thanks very much. I shoot in raw and so my processing includes some sharpening, exposure adjustments, minor color correction (when needed), etc. I try to emulate what I saw.

Yes I can see it. It makes the images beautiful. Does the results match what you experienced on the day you took the images? We can exaggerate the modifications. It gets us praise. All of this is good. Keep up the good work.
