Mud Flats

[Robert Amoruso]

From MINWR in Florida. Created on 12/15/07 handheld.

Canon 1D Mark IIn
24-105mm @ 24mm
1/320 sec, f/16, Av, Evaluative, Exp comp: -1/3, ISO: 400

I used a low tonal range (5) / high amount (45) Shadow/Highlight Adjustment to bring up the shadows in the grass ridge.

What attracted me was the patterns in the mud. Comments welcome.

I like the patterns in the mud esp in the lower left quadrant as well as the movement of the mud/water from the bottom right to top left. I wonder if a closer image of the mud/water in the lower left area with a lower point of view would carry more impact.

You know Jay, I did that but for some inexplicable reason I cut one of the arcing patterns which caused me to reject it. I believe someone was trying to talk to me from their car window asking what I was photographing. Something like "Is it a gator" - it just through me off. Oh well. Since then I drive by this everytime I am there and look for it again to no avail.

Great eye catching the image in the image.
