Took a drive after a convention yesterday in Orlando, Florida to head
over to Cape Canaveral and the wildlife refuge. We saw an alligator
and many birds at Blackpoint Wildlife Drive last time, but the weather
is very dry now. I did manage to catch these shots.

Nice shot of manatees. (Too bad the water was so muddy, but guess they like
that.)
On the bird shot, this is one case, if it were my shot, I think that I'd go
into PS and blur the background even more (for the appearance of even shallower
DOF. Normally I don't try to change the apparent DOF.) I find the flowery
background too distracting, and it has lots of sort of circles. But the bird is
nice, so it's a shame the background detracts from it. I think blurring the
background more would really set it off a lot better. Tons better.
