I'm always looking for unique vantage points and being low is one of favorites on landscapes.
In fact there are several shots where I had the camera inches above the water and snapped the pictures with my thumb. Kind of a trail and error thing.
In this case the vantage point shows what someone would see if they were sitting in the canoe.
This was actually what I was going for, I wanted the viewer to feel as if it was them sitting in the canoe looking out towards the river.
Have to admit that although I did several b&w conversions from the set of pictures, I don't think I tried a b&w conversion or sepia effect.
Might just have to give that a shot.
Thanks for the comments.
