SOME WONDERFUL COLORS

SUNSET AT THE MARSH
I sat on this image for a week or two, and this morning figured out how I wanted to interpret it.

Yesterday I  was at the studio of a really great painter, and we were discussing his current work. The piece that he is working on is a stunning landscape of the Elk River bottoms. The painter was showing me where he wanted to lighten up some hedge rows in an effort to bring the viewer's eye into the painting.

I have been doing similar things with my photographs in that I often lighten up areas of interest. In this photograph I lightened up the reeds so that they would stand out more so. I think it works.
