Fantastic light and composition. Just curious--were you in a boat or did you take this from the shore? I'm hoping to get down that way some day. :-))
Philip Orgeron  Thank you for the very kind thoughts Barbara. Yes, I was shooting from a boat handheld and standing. If you ever want to come down to southeast Louisiana let me know. I'll show you around.
Barbara Read  Your generous offer is too kind! I'd be more than happy with a list of 'must see's' and hints that only a fellow photographer could provide. ;-)
