Another from the Bin. Taken last spring when the river was at an almost all time high. Sunlight breaks through the clouds to reveal the Muddy waters of the Mighty Mississippi River. Shot just West of New Orleans, is I-310 Bridge. Have A Great Day! E J

Now this is very cool E.J. That must be a barge of some kind. Love the light play and it is for sure a muddy river in this shot. You do so well no matter what you shoot. =^..^= sandi ♪

Been there quite a few times EJ. Always lying with two anchors down as the current is so strong. Wonderful image with the broad yellow river in the green landscape. Here is

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Beautiful textures and colors. Amazing what mother nature has to offer in the strangest places.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
I would have never guessed a muddy river would look so gorgeous. The lighting and the accompanying colors really make it shine SK. That sure is a tall tripod you have.
Great post.
Great post.

So Cool E J. I'll be crossing it at St. Louis on the 16th. It sure is mudding looking and I know it can when there's been lots of rain and snow melting into it.

Have a fabulous week everyone.
Outstanding shot! I wonder why the Mississippi looks dirty where you are compared to where I am. Really a beautiful photo EJ!

I saw the barges and thought it was a colour test for your Nikon. Luv the colours and lighting in this excellent shot of the Mississippi E.J. You must have doing have doing a fly over on the back of one of those great egrets. Great work.
Thanks for sharing

"Never let your studies interfere with your education." - Pete Seeger
Another one that stood out to me on this trawl through your gallery EJ, the light on the brown water is lovely and the multi-coloured pallets being towed by the barge set off the muddy colours perfectly.

Look after the wildlife folks
Splendid shot, EJ. That is a great view of this mighty river. This is a color sensation and the water looks the color of rust.

Come over to the dark side, we have cookies. :)
Good contrast of the orange clay colored old muddy with the green shoreline. The barges of many colors really add something extra to the photo...super EJ

"Another one that stood out to me ..."
Me, too. Me ... too. :o)
Saw this image of yours some time back, Ed. And here's I be.
Your composition of the setting is certainly a strong element of your photo here. And is what caught my eye initially.
Colour contrasts are good.
And on that note would follow the one lone caveat. Some ... some, that is ... Selective Colour adjustment and/or Colour Balance adjustments ... might kick this one up a notch, or three.
Cyans in the shadows at the top could be toned down a tad. (Just my humble opinion, of course.)
Annnnd ... where the heck were you when you took this one?
Yes ... Curious Les, I am.
Good good eye to have seen this, and even better as I ponder your photographic perch ... to have captured the scene well.
And, but of course ... thank you for sharing this one with us. :o)

I've been across the bridge many times but never got a birds eye perspective like you have here. The barge with colorful cargo really jumps out at you. I've seen muddy rivers before but you somehow managed to make it interesting.
