Abandoned
The ubiquitous tyre on the sand at low tide. I used the NDX 400 for this, combined with a polariser, from memory. Still working with the laptop and not happy with the viewing of images.
Canon 5D Mk II, 35mm, f/14, 22 seconds, ISO 100, NDX 400, Singh Ray warming polariser, tripod. Time 12:44pm

It really looked like a horeshoe at first to me and I couldn’t work out the depth / height of it in the water! Love the light in the reflections especially the flare of light at the very bottom
jiba
Awesome, at first I thought it was a large eel surfacing haha. The reflections really make this unique!
