Big Shadow, Little Shadow

Uploaded: September 15, 2007 03:43:20

Description

EFS17-85 @85mm, f/5.6, 1/100th second, -1/3ev, RAW, tripod.
A small bit of a weed had fallen into a dark-bottomed lily pond. I liked the reflection/shadows
cast by the little weed, next to that of a much larger plant, off-frame.
Levels and Saturation adjustments in PSE2.
9/07 Finalist, Catchall

Thanks, everyone! Sue, I think you summed it up--"interesting"--I don't know what draws me to this, exactly; it is a little strange, as a photo, I think! But I love the blue, and the pop of brightness from the weed sticking out. #4797785

Thanks Carol... the sky was beautiful that day, which helped, along with the dark insides of the lily pond! #5024358
