In a small lake just a few minutes from our home, we found this large flock of egrets. There where egrets  in the water, in the trees.......everywhere. 

Patti took this shot with her telephoto, and we were both amazed at the strange results.  Dozens of egrets..... and their reflections. Thousands of dying lily pads ...and their reflections. Hundreds of trees ...and their reflections....and their shadows. My first reaction when I saw this shot was, gosh Patti, what is that stuff all over your lens?

Pretty weird results and not exactly what we were hoping for.  

Here is a major photoshop  rework of this image, it looks better I think although many of the egrets are erased, but most of the nasty looking dead lily pads are gone as well.:

DailyPhotos > popular today > 12/2.  Royal National Park in Australia at Sunset.  I captured this during my fantastic business trip to Australia where I managed to get out to take a few pictures as well.  This was one of my FAVORITE locations!   One of my friends, Matt, who lives in Sydney took me out there.   It rained on us, was hot and sunny and then the sunset was just fantastic!  I couldn't have asked for anything more.  I was definitely having a little TOO much fun as I kept shooting past sun down... and the tide kept coming UP!!  We made it back around cove without any problems!  I just finished processing this today for my first time -- let me know what you think.
