A Lazy bank holiday's pictures

Hello everyone,

Over last bank holiday weekend, I went rowing on the lake in Nottingham university with my girlfriend, and took a camera round with me. It really was a gloroius day, and it seems that it is a lot eaisier to take pictures from the water

.

Here are a few of my favourites:

A heron, which looks highly photoshopped, but is just resized from the camera with slight saturation adjustments:

Some happy little cygnets what had just been hatchificated

Quack!:

Last but most certainly not least, what my girlfriend reliably assures me is a goosander, and is currently residing on my desktop. This one has had no photoshopping at all except for a resize and sharpen:

Thanks for looking

Hehe that heron is clearly playing at being a stealth heron. "I'm no heron, i'm a tree." I think the last shot is the best but it seems a tad soft. The heron and the duck don't really seem to stand out from their surroundings.

Nice shots

My favourite one is of the Grebe, then the Heron. I find number three, of the Duck the weakest shot (possibly because there is just loads of greenery and water).

Great pictures overall though!
