Greatly composed wonderful image,Bill!Wow..can't even imagine how it feels being there and watching carefully the surface that is apparently calm and safe..knowing that somehwre there the gators are watching me too...:-)that's how I imagine this moments!Very nice shot! #6272218

Colleen Farrell August 04, 2008

Wow, another amazing bayou shot, Bill! Like Renata said, this just puts me in the scene and makes me wonder what it sounds like and feels like (the heat and humidity). Are there a lot of mosquitoes? #6272230

Thank You Renata, Colleen, Stefania, Dominick, Lynn, Michelle, Sue, Bojan, Susan, Shellly, Melissa and Sherran. I appreciate all of you, your nice comments and your support.
