Vineland - the biggest city (in area) in New Jersey - is the next town southwest of us. I had to go to a friend's business and drop off a print. On the way back I noticed this field (yes, it is still in the city limits) the front of which was all wetlands with an abundance of cattails

@5unflow3r Thank you Trina, on your suggestion I tried it; I actually created and taught a graduate course on Image Processing and I can define the algorithms and write the software, but it scares me to use it :)
With the browns of the background, it would be difficult to make those cattails stand out unless you got right on top of them and worked on DoF. Either that or start crawling into them and shoot them from below.
Both of these suggestions are probably rubbish, because you probably weren't dressed to do that sort of thing.
@scooter Thank you Scooter, the colour version gives it more of a prairie look to me @angievega Thank you Angie, it struck me while driving to stop @pwallis Thank you Paula, I find a calmness in it. @webfoot Thank you Paul, I thought about it, but they were in 6" of water and didn't have the proper boots with me :) probably should keep a pair in the car.

Nice shot overall.
