Great use of background and fine use of limited depth of field.

I agree with Jeff, I really like this one. Every time we pass thru Austin I try and catch the show but havent had any luck so far. We even stayed at the hotel right next to the bridge but, was unable due to commitments

Nice use of the OOF background! This has been on my list of things to see and photograph for a while now.

Great shot Dan. We've been there many an evening. The IH-35 bridge over McNeil Road in Round Rock is a great location for bats as well.

Fitting use of the Frost Building. From certain angles it looks like an owl. Very nice composition!
