Glory - The Reflective Face.

Glory - The Reflective Face.

Image taken on the Murray River between Younghusband and Mannum ferries South Australia.

The last from my most recent trip to Mannum. The sky was unbelievable and just so powerful. This seems to have worked much better in B&W given the colours of the night.

Thanks again to Dave from the Mannum Motel for sharing this place with his son and I.

Many thanks to those who pointed out the dogs face in the lower half of the image. Now I cant look without seeing it. By the way its naturally occurring no photoshop magic here.

    So much natural drama in that wonderful sky and without a doubt, monochrome was an inspired choice of presentation, the reflection that looks like a dog’s face is a wonderful bonus, very well captured Steve,
