[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A repost following some of the suggestions of TL friends. A different cropping is used so that there would be less of the sky. The dirt road and exposed water now leads from a corner of the frame to the horizon. The triangle formed by the sun, Mt. Arayat, and the exposed water is maintained. No PP except USM after resize.


Previous notes:

Another image of Candaba Swamp ... still part of my new lens (courtesy of tracer) field test.

This is about an hour before sundown. I used a Cokin Tobacco GND filter, handheld (including the filter), no tripod. We were cramped in a small bird watching tower.

No ("high-tech") post processing was done except slight tilt adjustment and USM after resize.

I was trying to concentrate on the compositional elements of the photo, like the strip of exposed water leading to the horizon. I also formed a triangle composed of the sun, Mt. Arayat in the background, and that strip of exposed swamp water.

Is it effective?

Thanks for dropping by and have a nice weekend.
