Very cool capture...are there critters and gators in there too? #964987

Bill Knaps July 21, 2008

Yes some very large gators in this part of the swamp Shelly. Luck seems to always be with me, but I would love a gator shot in the wild here or in my bayou shots. Bill #6210555

Colleen Farrell July 24, 2008

This is so fantastic, Bill! You know, it reminds me, when I was going to school in New Orleans, I was amazed at how tropical it seemed--the weather of course, and the sounds of the birds, and all the vegetation. That's one thing I loved the most. This wonderful photo brings back good memories; thanks! #6227605

Kathleen K. Parker level-deluxe July 24, 2008

Yes, your bayous/swamps look better than ours down here in New Orleans...well, BY New Orleans. Really your compositions are wonderful. The colors, light, textures...all superb, Bill.
