  • Eva and Klaus Weber-Wanjek

    Eva and Klaus ...

    This is really a wonderful image! Did you play with different shutter speeds? The play of sharpness of the driftwood and movement of water works exceptionally well, not to mention the lighting. I guess it is what you would call being at the right place at the right time (and of course having talent and the right equipment too)!

  • Barbara Brown replied

    Thank you Eva and Klaus. Yes, I tried it from different angles and exposures. Was just hanging out waiting fr the sun to set in the ocean and seeing what interesting things I could find.
