    You must be a very patient man - I have set out to capture a shot like this for many years - I spend a lot of time shooting in the swamps and wetlands of NE Louisiana so I can certainly appreciate your devotion in capturing this image!

    Strange though so far away, that your pics so often remind me of home state (waaay back when!) of Louisiana, cept the crocs's an alligatorr, and the snake bird, a pelican where I come from! LOVELY work. JUst saw comment above. HE would agree, I see! But I am from SW LA, by the Gulf of Mexico.
