Description

This Was A Really Cool Dead Tree At
The Waters Edge On The Lake Walk.

I loved how the colors turned out on this one.

Hope you like it, too.
That Is -VERY CLEAR- Shallow Water Nearest Us In This Image.

I really like this style of artwork.
I wonder if I had this series made into greeting cards if
they would sell?

Love that log!!! Terrific image, Swanee! #1237038

Mary K. Robison February 10, 2010

Beneath the effects, you obviously had a wonderfully textured log, and nothing beats see-through lake water. (Well, ok - see-through ocean water's great, too.)
The greeting-card idea is worth a pitch, Pom. Check out the latest edition of "Photographer's Market" at your local library. (Or splurge and buy the book!) There's a section for greeting card companies. #8370262

Hi Everybody!

Ron, I love drift wood and bare or dead trees, too. Even burned ones. Trees and logs are great! You will love this lake then! I should post one more from this Lake tonight for you to REALLY see the logs there! Maybe I will...
