Thank you Lorell & Rich.
Lorell, when I took the photo my hope was to show the serenity I felt that early morning. During processing I tried various crops, and even though I knew I was breaking some of the "rules" of composition, I went with this square one. I think I'll revisit the original photo again and try different crops.
To answer a question you asked in another thread, Sandy and I plan an outing to the Huntington Beach Central Park early Wednesday morning. There have been reports of a bald eagle sighting, but don't know where in the large (343 acres or 0.53 square miles or 1.4 square kilometers) park the eagle was seen.
And I sure was happy to read that you walking again.
Rich, I appreciate your thoughts and comments. Photo or Painting? Maybe both. The next time I have a day when my hand tremors are mild I hope to give it a try in watercolors. If you would like to do the same, feel free to go ahead. I'd enjoy seeing your interpretation of the shot.
And kudos to those two working in that brutal temperature.
Here is another photo from the same wetlands outing on New Year's morning. It's a Snowy Egret and I think the shot captures the mood of the morning and has a hint of action as the egret is starting a stride. But again, the composition is both good and bad: I intentionally included the post on the right to serve as an eye stopper (good), but they say to never have your subject looking out of the frame (oh how I wish the egret had been facing right!).
I'm putting this egret photo on my "I should paint this someday" list; if I do, I'll have a chance to flip the egret so it points right.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
