So it seems that a lot of birds are going to lose their common names in favor of something else soon, like this Wilson's Phalarope. What do you all think of that?

The light from the setting sun is reflected in the calm water of the bay off Long Beach Island.

One beautiful end of the day at Lake Windermere, Lake District. Loved the gentle reflected light over the ripples and with the boats lined up, ready to be used for the next day. Do I want to go back? Yes, always! : )

Trees reflected in the Lake at Kew Gardens.

When I can get out with my camera again I want to try to perfect this kind of image. It depends heavily on the amount and position of the ripples, which aren't ideal in this shot. Unfortunately I only took the one casual shot of the reflection of these trees on this occasion - clearly I need to take far more to catch the ideal one.

With the processing, it's necessary to even up the considerable dynamic range between what is now the bottom of the image (originally the top) which was quite dark, and the top, which reflected the sky between the topmost branches of the trees, which was bright. The "soft contrast" slider in Nik Silver Efex is the crucial parameter for this but there are trade-offs between sufficiently brightening up the bottom of the image and losing details of the fine twigs at the top of the trees or having them too dark.

street shot I love. Face expression haunted me .....

The sounds of a quiet woods...a few crows overhead and a gentle breeze in the trees.
