Manmade Wetlands

Orlando Wetlands Park, Christmas, Florida
D2X, 24-70mm

While the man-made wetlands around the state of Florida provide a great way to treat waste water and provide a habitat for a lot of wildlife, it can take a toll on the resident plan life. Palms like these were never intended to have their roots permanently submerged.

Hi Rich,
It makes a very interesting story and I have visited a number of them. Photo wise....even though it is similar to the grasses picture you posted earlier..........the BG trees in this one definitely compete with your main focal point. don't know where you are able to get around on this one.......but a different time of day may allow you to get a different angle to separate the island of trees from the BG.

Rich,

Know this scene well but agree with Roman the BG trees compete with the FG trees too much. Similar reflections studies can be made of these trees w/o the treed BG by moving further up the path.
