I was looking to photograph ferns but the natural lighting was magic. I hike and photograph here often. The stream had settled from heavy rains, it was time to explore. This was my 29th shot in 30 minutes.Editing
I cropped the image a little to create a strong primary focal point and eliminate distractions. I darkened the image by increasing shadow and reduced sharpness.In my camera bag
IPhoneFeedback
Take lots of pictures. Its ok to reshoot an image or scene. After you shoot, experiment with cropping, light and color filters.
