As fate would have it this driftwood didn't wash away with the high tide and I got a second chance to capture its existence. Twisted, broken and misplaced yet supporting new growth- a testament to endurance.
Whilst waiting for my exposure I was wondering what it's fate will be from here.

Critique by ~Borderwalker Mar 27, 2011, 12:56:11 PM
It is a beautiful shot and the colors are wonderful, but I think the composition is a bit off. It seems a little top heavy and I think it would be more striking if you had more of the ilky water and less of the sky.
I also think for this motif, that maybe if you held the camera the other way? There is a certain poetry about the subtle reflection that doesn't seem to come to it's right like this.

Hm, but then again there is also a nice harmony between the curve of the longest twig and the slight curve in the clouds.
What do you think?

I am glad you like it! I had seen the "driftwood" the day prior to when I took this particular photo. It caught my eye with that little bit of new growth on it. It was low tide and I took some photos that I liked, but didn't love. The next morning I went back to that location to capture some of the rocks at high tide and was amazed to find that this "driftwood" was still there. It turns out it is actually a mangrove rooted to that spot. However the scene that morning with the water lapping at it and the dramatic sky was much more dynamic than the day before. I soon forgot about the rocks I had gone there to shoot and took some long exposures of this instead!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
