Love the effect in last shot- you don't expect the reflection to be blurred, and it's an interesting twist. Very nice!

[imtheguy]

Nice stuff Chuck, you DO get around. Yeah, I like the warmth of that spot of sun on the last shot. Great place to have a tent, campfire and camera while somebody else catches the fish for dinner.

If Patawomeke/Patawomeck is just another word for Potomac, I REALLY have no idea where you took these shots if it was not along the Potomac.

Hey thanks for the comments. Yea, Patawomeck is just another old spelling of Potomac. The images were all shot near Great Falls on the Maryland side. Went looking for water birds and all I got was landscapes. Thnx again. Hope all this well.

PS the first Saturday in November will be Native American day at Jamedtown.

Last one is stunning!

[WPRESTO]

Nice group. I'd like a bit less of that road in the lower right of the first shot.

[Christine1467]

Really like the second shot best, but all are good.

[cdurfor]

Wpresto - I was thinking the same thing. The sin of a fast ENTER button that should be corrected.

I was unable to find any info on this event in the Jamestown event calendar. Got a link?

This is more people then critters, but I've seem some of these presentations before and the images can be quite striking. Here is the blurb from the Home -- Preservation Virginia web site:

Nice shots. I was also curious if you meant Potomac. I told my wife the other day that I needed to shoot some at Great Falls. Been there several times, but is has been a while.

[MRRiley]

More nice stuff Chuck. Unless I am mistaken the 2nd shot is the Fish Ladder at Great Falls and the 3rd is somewhere along the canal towpath.

[cdurfor]

Correct on both accounts. No fooling you.

Another wonderful part of that part of this Park, is the Riverpath that starts just north of the Great Falls Lock Keeper's House (~ 30-50 feet) on the river side. Many wonderful water fowl and rumor has it, a Heron rookery, about ~ 1/2 way up the trail... So, waiting for spring....

[civiletti]

nice images - I would likely have added fill light to the first.

Love #2.
