Shot in the morning at North Beach Lagoon at Ft Desoto one of my favorite places in Florid to shoot and I pray it will not be to badly damage by the oil spill along with the rest of Florida. My biggest fear is it will get into the Gulf stream and foul our East Coast beaches during Sea Turtle nesting season.

Very nice pose and excellent detail Don. IMO I would crop a little more canvas from the top. Many thanks for sharing.

Lovely colors and nice detail; I'm thinking I'd take some off the top as the oof grasses on the bank are distracting. Here's hoping your fears aren't realized.

[Troy Lim]

I agree with Judy's comment. I would crop until where the water and the plants meet, make it a bit less distracting.
Head Angle is great, eye contact.

That oil spill is so scary, I just hope it will end with as little damage as possible.

I love the colors, HA, details and eye contact.
Agree with Judy, I would crop some from the top.
