It actually looks pretty cozy, and if the cattle doesn't make too much of a mess  I wouldn't mind having a picnic under those trees, and fishing seems to be an option too 
From this angle it looks very nice. Thanks for sharing the photos with us Priscilla. |

Now where's my fishing-pole?
Looks like a calm secluded place to sit down, throw your hook and bait in the water, and sit down and ponder on life and all that comes with it, while you wait for, "THE BIG ONE" to take the bait.
When I look at this picture in full size I see a lot of "noise" which to me indicates that you've had your camera set to a high ISO-setting or a slow shutter-speed.
The higher you set you ISO the more noise you will get. So to avoid this try to use as low an ISO-setting as possible, and compensate for the light using shorter shutter-speeds. If you need to use "long shutter-speeds" i.e 1/100 sec or slower remember to use a tripod, or rest your camera on something to stabilize it to avoid camera-shake. |

Darren, the cattle can't wade into the water. They can only drink from one side, the one you don't see. No mess. <g> Since the fish are hand-fed there are some big ones.
I'm so glad you enjoyed my efforts capturing the scenerity of the spot.  |

Julianne, the fish draw plenty of frogs and snakes. We love frog legs hate the snakes.
Thanks for your kind comments.

ParaMan, we use bread for bait. But you only get one good one before word goes out and they stop biting. No joke.
You've offered some good advice on camera settings. If only I knew what to do with it. As I stated, or I hope I did, I'm new to digital photography and have a lot to learn.
With your pointers in mind I suppose it's time to get out the manuel and bone up one my camera.
Thanks for taking time to offer your suggestions and thoughts on my shot. |
