Reeds In A Pond

Original photograph taken at the Kooragang Wetland Centre in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales. I duplicated the base layer, applied a couple of filters to those copies, added a few tinting layers, and adjusted the layer modes to change look of the piece.

    lovely work James

    Thanks Tina ! How are things going for you – probably good I’d say, with your determination.
    That pond is at the Wetland Rehabilitation Centre that I do Volunteer design work for. It’s an incredible place that I’ll get a stack of photos at, and it’s a great experience to see all these wild birds, spiders, mud crabs and all kinds of plants too.

    Hi James- I’m sure one would never in a life-time ever finish exploring there!!!

  • reflector replied

    I’ve seen some strange things there already ! I’m not entirely sure, but yesterday I saw a species of Mud Crab that looked like it had a fluorescent green back that would look like a leaf to predators.I thought one was carrying a leaf until I saw another one – and they couldn’t put a leaf on their back and keep it stuck there ! But it kept going back in its mud hole every time I tried to photograph it !

    Thanks v.much Rella ! How have you been ? I haven’t written a piece for maybe a month, but it’s got to be inspired or I won’t write !
    I think the colours look like the traditional Aussie ones with a bit of mellowing.to lighter hues.
