Here is another image from the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge featuring a white egret in the tidal pool. Beyond the marsh and located on the upper portion of the frame is the Atlantic City skyline. On the right is a wind farm consisting of five (5) wind turbines.

It's nice that land has been set aside for wetlands and kind of cool that you can see the city in the distance. On top of that, a Great White Heron was nice enough to pose for you! Good image.

Laura, I really like the contrasts of the city skyline with the marsh, I think this turned out very nice, even better to have great white heron in the image too. tigs =^..^

That is beautiful especially with the egret in the shot. I love the skyline of Atlantic City topping off the frame. The marsh is something I would love to explore. Excellent work, Laura.

If you stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE"...you might be a redneck.

This came out beautifully, Laura. City & egret enjoying southern Jersey. I like the greens in the marshland. Bravo.

Good capture of this wildlife refuge with its lonely visitor Laura. The egret adds much to beauty of the scene.

Well composed Laura with the Egret in the foreground, the marsh and another egret in the middle and the skyline in the distance.
A virtual romp for the eyes.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

The contrasts between the city and the wildlife preserve are terrific Laura - would make for a great article about surviving wildlife with all the buildings.
