Lens: 43mm ltd Camera: K-5 Photo Location: Indio, CA 
Posted By: Bob Harris, 01-23-2012, 08:17 PM

the aerator in the campground pond pushes the residue to the edge where I took yet another shot of an interesting image.

Bob - this pond scum shot (PSS) is cooler than the first one, in my view. Can't tell you why, but I like this one better. Clever stuff, buddy.

Can't be. This patch of pond scum looks as if it could have a measurable IQ.

Jer, there are different types of PS, this is a special mix of duck, squirrel and oil on the water, it gives it a special look and of course a different feel. Thanks for looking, always appreciated.
