It's a long walk down to the River Walk, while a bird soars over the scene. San Antonio, Texas. Canon EOS Elan 7E, 28-200 lens.

Nicely composed, Patricia! #24744Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019
Nicely done, Patricia. Your percentage of keepers on your SA trip must have been pretty high :0) #61315Patricia Marroquin May 26, 2019
Thank you, Kathleen. And thank you, Murry. I don't know if I had a high percentage, Murry. I probably took about 100 film pictures and 100 digital pix, so somewhere in all that I better have gotten at least a few good ones! LOL. #61344Judy Wick May 26, 2019
Stopped by your gallery Patricia... Boy, I have great timing! I really like this shot. The perspective (I got dizzy feeling like I was standing right there), the colors of the umbrellas, and then, the bird in flight! Did you ask him to do this? He's so perfectly positioned! :) #61461Joy Brown May 26, 2019
Wonderful image, Patricia! #61484Patricia Marroquin May 26, 2019
Thank you, Judy and Joy. Judy, I'm glad the photo made you dizzy. Wait a minute, that's not exactly what I meant! But if the photo made you feel like you were there, then I've accomplished something. That's what I meant. :-) And no, I wish I could have orchestrated this bird's movements. Actually, I took several shots with no bird in the picture, then when I saw him through the viewfinder, I snapped again! #61502Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019
Well done Patricia! #61508Patricia Marroquin May 26, 2019
Thanks, Damian. #61525Gary H. Minish May 26, 2019
Hey! I actually recognized this before reading your title! I stood right on that exact spot a couple years ago. Very well shot! A nice perspective that really conveys the heighth....especially with the bird flying far below :-) #66618Patricia Marroquin May 26, 2019
Thank you so much, Gary. This short visit, in February for my birthday, was my first time there. I loved it! Hope to go back and spend more time next time. #67368Joy Brown May 26, 2019

AHA!!! I absolutely loved this photo the first time around Patricia. Congrats & Good Luck in the finals! :) #81538Patricia Marroquin May 26, 2019
Oh, yeah! I gave you a dizzy feeling, didn't I, Judy? LOL! Thanks so much. I appreciate your kind words. #81598Carol Engstrom May 26, 2019
