This is another photo from yesterday at Mason Neck Park...there was an area that had a walkway and some streams, and I really loved the way this tree and the sand by it looked. With the wind rippling the water a bit, it just seemed like a nice shot. :)

This is one of my favorite shots from all you've posted, Emily! And you post some great shots!! I love the ripples and the bit of tree, and even the leaf. The entire image is full of texture but none of it overpowers any other section. If I could possibly pick on anything (and you have to remember who is suggesting this, The Queen of Over The Top and Over Done ), I guess it would be the temperature. Maybe warming it up with a filter and pushing the contrast up a smidge to take advantage of that wonderful play on all the textures, and this will really come alive!

D, thank you so much! I'm glad you like this. :) Your suggestion of warming it up a smidge is a good one...I might play with that idea a bit.

This is very nice indeed Emily. The long shadow is very effective.
I do see however a crocodile just about to enter the water.
