    Did you crop it. It remindes me of a beaver pool. I like the contrast of the green and the dead trees.

    Thanks for commenting. I did a crop to achieve this ratio.

    Seb - Good shot, good crop. I like the divide between the two worlds -- sort of like the living and the dead. Can you up the saturation on the greens a little? That would give it more punch. Also, might be interesting to see more of the upper parts of the trees (if there isn't some stuff that needed removal up there).

    Hello GB,

    Yup, I could definately bump up the saturation on the sea grass. About the crop, there is not much space at the top of the trees before the sky shows up (and I meant to avoid the sky). Thanks

    Hi Seb,

    I like this shot just the way it is. I think the wide crop works to place emphasis on the texture of the vertical subject matter....if that makes any sense. This is a situation where the rule of thirds would have ruined, or at least completely changed, the photo.
