Sea Grass

Garth Smith

Sea Grass

The coastal sea grass is exposed at low tide.
The mouth of the Duck River estuary at Smithton NW Tasmania. Perkins Island is in the background with a faint hint of Robbins Island behind that blending into the clouds.
This area is a quite significant coastal bird habitat as are most estuarine waters.
This is a Photomatix HDR blend of 4 images to capture the full tonal range.
Taken just after sunrise with a faint pink glow still on the land.

    This is a lovely work of Art, but I’m writing to remind you that we can only accept one work of art per Artist per 24 hours. We hope you’ll continue to share your work with us. What we do with more than one work/24 hrs is to send them all back and let you choose which one for today, tomorrow, etc.. Thanks for thinking of us!
