Up at 5 this morning so I could nip over to the Boondall Wetlands and see what was about.

Great work Nick. I agree with Skweekie about the Bokeh in no 1. That's wonderful shot and the others a very good also. Can't wait to get down there myself on Sunday now.

Appreciate the comments everyone. Cheers!

As for the bokeh in #1, I think I was just lucky that there wasn't too much directly behind that tree.

With all the twiggy trees and the birds that zip around them like they're hyped up on caffeine it's often hard to get a background without clutter. Or foreground for that matter.

I say your early AM wakeup paid off in a very nice way. Nice series of shots! The first two are very very nice with some good looking subjects.
