Birdsong in the marsh
Marshland,
Paul Lake Road,
Kamloops, B.C.
The marsh was alive with birds and their song, including that of this red winged blackbird. Had it not been for the abundant insect life there as well (which were nibbling on me), I could have stood forever listening and watching the birds dart around. The rays of the setting sun glinted off the shallow marsh waters and sent shadows rippling through the many branches arching over the water.
I played around with processing of this image for a long time, zooming in on the bird & cropping, trying out special effects, etc etc. Finally I settled on this which is just how it looked as I took it, for the shot wasn't just about the bird but about the feeling of the marsh. If only I could include the birdsong!
