The S curve in the creek at low tide caught my eye and I worked several comps, liking this one best. Critique welcome.

S curve works very well. You've framed it nicely with the tall grass and trees. Some nice pinkish clouds in the sky would've been nice - but we really never know what Mother Nature will give us :wink:

Hope you can get back to this spot for more future pics.

Nicely done. This is my old stomping grounds and I miss it.

David,

I like the warm/cool combo you've captured here and the s-curve does well to draw the viewer in to the scene. I might go so far as to call this one a "z-curve!" :wink: Very nice and warm light on the grasses. The sky isn't much to write home about, but you did very well to limit it's inclusion in the composition. Very nicely captured.

St. Mark's is one of my favorite places - always good opportunities to be found there. I love the golden brown grass here, and the ess curve ia also attractive. Well done Daniel.

Beautiful light you shot this in, David. Great comp and I love the golden color with the blue water. The curves looks great.
