I almost hate to post this photo, because it bumps the golden pond photo, and I'm still really in love with that one. I took this out at the Yolo Basin this morning. The otters showed up there a few days ago. I saw them yesterday but didn't have my camera, so of course when I went back today with my camera I didn't find them! This means many trips out there in future days because I really want a photo of them. I do like today's photo though. The light was really nice, and I like all the shades on the foreground tule. This was the best angle I got for a red-winged blackbird. Interesting that they don't have a yellow stripe here. Also that there call is different from what I was hearing last year in Washington.
One issue I have with this photo is the extent to which the background is blurred. That in combination with the lighting on the foreground makes the photo look a little too 3D...like I'm looking at it through cheap 3D glasses. Usually I like a blurred background on a photo like this, but not so much here.
