Default Reed the Current

Fuji FP S3100: ISO 100 - f/9 - 1/30sec. - 27mm - -0.3 comp. - 7:53 PM

Second in a series of "Sense of Place" photos ("Bobber" was the beginning of the idea). To give, with very simple subjects, a sense of the type of location and circumstances in which the photo was taken:

I hope you don't mind but I thought the pic would look better if the green popped more. After seeing it uploaded I think it looks the same as yours

Ah. After cruelly panning the muted tones in Bobber, I can praise this photo with a clean conscience. Lovely -- colours, lighting, composition.

As I looked at it, i wondered how the photo would look with more headroom? Did you try a crop with more space above the reeds?

Great vision just to see this picture / opportunity. I would have walked right past it.

Simple, peaceful and interesting.
