Another foggy morning on Henderson Inlet.  This snag floated by while I was trying to take pictures of ducks in the fog.  This is not a black-and-white conversion...

Iso 1600, 200-500 at 371 mm, F7 .1, 1600th, D 500, handheld, DxO photo lab, ACR 10.2, Topaz adjust, TK sharpening action 40%

The fog does a fine job of isolating this snag, David.  The subtle ripples in the water also speak well of a quiet foggy morning.

Davis, at first glance I was sure this was B&W, due to the lack of color. This minimalist image has some wonderful graphic shapes and patterns. The formation to the far left looks like a seahorse to me. The circle and two diagonal lines in the dead center are a very eye-catching subject, nice bit of seeing on your part . Your arrangement of the elements here is nicely balanced. Wonderful abstract image !!!

Beautiful simple abstract scene. I might back off the sharpening a bit, but no other suggestions. This is real nice.

Wonderfully graphic. The snag has nice shapes and the reflections are wonderful. I like the negative space above the snag and the subtle ripples in the water.

Wonderful graphics here, David. The subtle shapes of the ripples work very nicely in this minimalistic image. My only suggestion would be a little crop from the top and to reduce the sharpening just a little. Nice find.
