Week 51 by Judy

One Of Us Has Got To Go!

The NWGs went on our last photo walk for this series of the NWG's 52 week project. We went to Viera Wetlands. They had the wetlands blocked off to car traffic, so we walked the perimeter of a couple of the lakes/wetlands. These two herons gave us quite a show. The bottom one was just giving the other heron all kinds of grief for unknown reasons. The Great Blue Heron is usually a picture of calm and peacefulness, so witnessing and listening to all the racket this one bird was displaying was quite unusual. It's times like this, I wish I had a big honking lenses, but good things come to those who wait. This was taken with my 18-250mm zoom. Applied Topaz Photo Pop filter and some cropping.

Week 10 by Robin

We went to Viera Wetlands this afternoon and only got a few shots in before they kindly told us that they would be closing. They used to let us stay until sunset but they probably get tired of waiting for us silly photographers trying to get that perfect image. An anhinga drying his wings and an ibis. I cropped this quite a bit, adjusted the color to make it a deeper orange, adjusted tones and contrast and added a vignette.
