Just got back last night from one week in Bosque. As others have said it didn't disappoint.
This is my 6th consecutive year since first going with Art Morris and I got many images this trip that I never have before.

Neat pose. Something about the ripples gives me the impression it's tilted, but when I look close I don't think it actually is.

This is beautiful....colors are wonderful. It was so crowded at Thanksgiving that I'm thinking of going the week after Christmas next year......was it very crowded then?

Nice silhouette! This would also like nice with the BG darker (more mid-toned).

It is tilted a bit - you can see that the reflected angle of the legs is different from the angle of the silhouette. Other than that, its a very ice image.

Richard,
Well done! I think I know where you were standing. I suspect we'll be seeing more Bosque images from you soon. Good meeting you on the Flight Deck.
PS Lana, it was not crowded on New Years eve or New Years day.
