Thanks, Cotty. I realized about six months ago that I rarely played with depth of field. That I usually shoot with everything in focus. I feel it is an area I need to develop to stretch myself more as a photographer. It's like a gap in my ongoing learning. So I don't mind hearing that it

Thanks. Made my day. I thought it looked so weird, no one would figure it out. It's actually dried weeds, grass, reeds, whatever. Took a friend to shoot there. Normally that area is filled with water and ducks. A duck club is near by. So it's a marshy area that is sometimes filled,
