Muddy Avenue, a photo from British Columbia, Western

Photographer's Note

This shot was taken on the road between Prince-Rupert and Terace. the whole drive is just majestic. Every new turn gives you a different opportunity to create an amazing shot. I was drawn but this canal that has been completely emptied by the low tide revealing the muddy earth that looked like clay. Using an S curve element in any composition is always effective.

Tech data: Canon 5D Mark II, Canon [email protected], Iso 400, 20 Sec, F18, Heliopan Polarizer, ND Grad Filter

Hi Pat,
I`m not gonna "Critique" your photo because I simply can`t.I will only use it as an example of how to take a photo and how to do post-processing, if you don`t mind.
Thanks for the lesson,
Nelu

PS I'm surprised that the grass at the FG did not move at all for 22s ! Absolutely no wind ?

Hi Pat
attractive shot with sharpness everywhere (tripod + long exposure = small aperture). The blue of the sky is fantastic

The clarity of this shot is outstanding. The depth created by your choice of POV takes the viewer deep into the shot. Did you use a tripod?
Cheers!
