You know, I bet if just one of these was HDR, people would be all over it like white on rice.

I don't agree with that HDR comment so much. Perhaps it's because there are so many to absorb at random. Maybe three threads might have been the call. 1) water, 2) plants & 3) bugs without the need to go to a larger view.

Some nice shots.

Yeah, you're probably right. I wasn't thinking. Thanks.
