While I see some problems with this image, I am not going to try to retake it--even if I saw that clump of ice and snow balanced on the twig! Crouching in that freezing water was no fun. But that is how I found out my boots were snow boots---NOT water boots. I held the camera down to the water's surface and shot blind. Eventually came up with this image. I tried some fill light, but couldn't get it to where I liked it, so came back to this image. I like the center of the image, but to me, it seems kind of boring.....
Cheryl, I think it's interesting-I especially like the starbursts at the bottom of the frame and the clump of ice is nice. If this were mine I might try to bring in a bit of blue in the sky-but this is lovely as presented. Sorry about your boots!!
Thanks, Denise. (Actually, I knew ahead of time that those boots leaked. But I thought I could keep my feet on the banks. yea right. lol And once your boots are full of ice water, you might as well go into the middle!)
lol, It could be interesting Denise, to start a thread of everyone listing the foolish/dangerous situations we have gotten into to get a photo, or to list the injuries we had gotten.....
hey, I figure it's worth it if the photo is good enough!! At least that is what I am thinking every time I get in those situations. lol
Hi Cheryl,
I like the composition and capture as presented...I think its very nice...so the water was cold...:eek::D I know, I've been there many a time...:):cool:
