Mangrove Tree Roots

Thanks Zaldy ! It resembles a bed of nails I think ! I sat on the boardwalk that runs through the Mangrove to get directly above what I was capturing.

I sat down on the boardwalk to get this one ! Thanks Pagly, I appreciate your great comment !

Thanks a lot Carly ! I didn’t know about that group. I love the fine detail in nature so a lot of my shots zoom in on that.

Thanks v.much linaji ! I was in this nature reserve for 2 hours but it felt like 10 minutes – I’m going to explore a lot more of this place, it’s stunning.

Excellent to receive that comment from you Murray ! Thanks ! :)

Thanks Dan ! I was gob-smacked at this place – everything looked so out of the ordinary to me. When I saw these roots I was so keen to capture them !

Thanks very much Leanne ! Receiving a comment from a professional like you is a great buzz ! Cheers ! :D

Thanks v.much Angela ! Yes it does look like 3D, and I keep thinking of a bed of nails when I look at it !

Thanks Cheryl, I think it looks Cool too !

Thanks so much Antanas, it’s Appreciated ! :)

Thanks Rosina ! The whole place where I took this is cool – it’s a Wetland Rehabilitation Project in Newcastle that I volunteer in doing their promotional brochure designs.

Thanks very much Norman !

Thanks a lot AD ! I sat down on a boardwalk and I was then able to point straight down with my camera for this perspective and comp.

Thanks very much ! Your work looks very polished – I’ll be visiting it in a while !

Thanks a lot Charlotte ! I’m glad you like it !

Thanks a lot Shelley, it’s appreciated !

Thanks a lot Nicole ! Your selection of words possesses a lot of energy too !
Thanks for the Watchlisting as well !

Thanks Nicole ! Our lives revolve around words entirely – they are critical in every aspect of our lives, and the lives of our loved ones.

Thanks Mr Teeth ! I was really stoked when i saw the possibility for this shot. There was a boardwalk through the mangroves and I sat down on it so that I could get as close as possible and point the camera straight down ” aerial view style ”. I don’t own a Jetback, I wondered what you meant there for a second !

ROFLOL ! You type very well without eyes my Silicon Leprechaun friend ! You have boundless talent so quit your whingeing ! The camera isn’t mine, I confiscated it ! Who knows what you might find there at the Mangrove – just think “everything is fare game for my camera ” and away you go !

Why don’t you give it a hug and a big smooch ! If it tastes like Monkey, it probably is… Monkey !

Thanks very much Nick ! it does look an unusual sight and a bit of an illusion when it come to scale.

Thanks a lot Woodyk2 !

Thanks very much Linaji ! Wandering through a mangrove for the first time on a very convenient boardwalk straight through the middle of it was an incredible experience. Two hours felt like 10 minutes !

Thank you Hena ! I appreciate the Fave !

Thanks Ginny ! This did well a few months ago with features. It’s one of my all-time fave abstract photos.

Thanks very much Michael for the great feedback ! Thanks for the fave too !
I was in that mangrove for a few hours, but it was like a time-warp. So fascinating and alien.

Thanks very much Emolena, I’m glad you like it !

Thank you Joanne ! I was really happy with this photo shoot and this was the most unusual photo I may have ever taken. Someone thought it looked like a shot of the city from a plane !

Hi Linaji ! Thanks very much ! I like that line – they don’t say that here. I started to re-organize my Gallery after I hit 30,000 views. I’m going to cull it down to 50% to make it easier to find things.

Thanks very much Keegan ! I was very happy with it when I saw what it looked like on the back of the camera.

Thanks Prasad ! With these growing everywhere the only way to apply the rule of thirds was by the colour of the mud – that green mud at the bottom. :)

Thanks very much Linda for your nice and enthusiastic comment !

Thanks a lot Corey – much appreciated !

Thanks a lot Soos !

Yeah, it really did look like a bed of nails ! I liked those shadows too – all very abstract. :0

Many thanks Cherish ! It was amazing to be able to walk through the middle of a mangrove on a boardwalk. I sat down and took this after the first minute or two, and it’s nice and abstract.

Thanks my friend ! It looked very strange and made a great photo. I’m glad you like it !

Thanks for the Fave Chen, I was very happy with this photo !

Thanks Nancy ! :)

Thanks a lot ! It was my first time in a Mangrove and although it’s mainly shades of brown and green it was riveting just looking around. I’m glad you like the angle and the shot !

It sure is, but you can get a bit “brown crazy” there. It depends on where you point the camera. When I get a better camera I’ll get bird shots there – it’s a haven for all sizes and types.

Thanks a lot Sue ! Someone thought these were like buildings as seen from a plane. Thanks for the fave and the compliment !

Thanks Sue, it’s been featured in a few groups. Please see my first reply for how it was shot.

... :)
Incredible capture ! It could be on any scale – at first i thought you’d taken off in that plane and were looking down into the swamps …teehee :)
Reply:
Yeah, that’s actually the Central Business District of Brisbane as I fly overhead on my way to kidnap a Scottish dog ! Nice service on the plane too ! >:D

The first part of that reply disappeared !

Thanks very much ! It really looks like a bed of nails to me, or a city looking down from a plane.

I read your profile, so I really appreciate you saying something that complimentary about this shot ! Cheers Jonathon !

Thanks Solomon, it’s one of my most viewed “straight” photos !

Thanks very much Lindsay ! Paul told me about your new group this afternoon.

Thank you Paul, that’s great news ! This was my first time in a mangrove and it was very interesting and inspirational.

It always makes me think of a bed of nails every time I look at it. Thanks again Lindsay ! :)

Many thanks Maggie ! :) They found me through this image in another group. Can you join ?

Thanks for that vigilance Maggie, I just got on here and haven’t seen that ! That’s my first win in a Challenge, ever ! :))

Thanks very much Aria, it was a nice surprise to know it won !

Thanks Adam, very much appreciated !

Thank you for your compliment !

Thanks a lot for your visit and the fave !
