Deryck, i love the mood of this image. very dramatic scene. good idea to use the log as a foreground subject. also good use of the flash to add some details to the foreground....though I must admit I seldom use flash to add details to the fg.......i mostly use the bracketing technique and blend them manually in photoshop. but you did a great job here using the flash. If you wouldn't have mentioned using a flash I would not have seen it. it looks very natural. Beuatiful colrs as well.
watching nature peacefully waking up to the new dawn – must have been a great experience, and with this shot you're sharing it with us! amazing colors and mood – love the pink clouds dancing on the ripples of the water! greetings, sabine. p.s.: beware of the crocodile, though, treacherously disquised as a floating tree trunk! ; ))
