The Things I See
Puddle - Alamo Creek Trail V
Posted by Craig (Vacaville, California, United States) on 13 December 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
This is the last of the Alamo Creek Trail Series for now.
@Kaddy: It is a photograph of a puddle of water. The gray sky is reflected in the puddle as are two trees. Hope that helps! Thanks for all your comments Kaddy!

nice composition, just make a litle crop on that yellow leave on the bottom, its distracting.

Oh Craig!! This is really soft and truly beautiful. Is it just the reflection of the clouds or did you add a touch of diffuse glow? I think this is one of your finest images.

@amy: No diffused glow. Just burned and dodged as needed. Thanks for your comments Amy!

This is the second time you have awed me with a photo of a puddle. I am enjoying this series very much. Do I smell the hint of another publication?

@Helen: Hi Helen! Yes, I'm thinking of another publication next year highlighting my photography of California. I'm still in the process of marketing my book on Death Valley (not too successful so far); but, these things take time. Thanks for all your comments Helen!
