I've been starved for settings that would inspire photographs, and yesterday I found one not far from home.  It's the Dutton Island Preserve and it's a gem.  Despite the ubiquity of salt marshes here, they're not easy to access.  Most are curtained from view by private homes, and the rampant shrubbery that borders most roads.  So, finding this little oasis was a real treat.  And, because salt marshes are tidal, the view can be infinitely varied depending on when one visits.  (Film)

Nice John. I especially like the view from across the water, the little bridge the marsh, the wispy clouds

Thanks, Dottie. I prefer the view across the water as well. The other is okay, but needed a lot of dramatizing!

It hints at color. An effect that I like. An orange cast to the water and sky.

These are toned in PS to resemble the light sepia and selenium chemical toning a real print would have. My color sense is limited, as you know, but I would not have thought orange was possible given that it's the same ps setting I usually use except a bit more intense. Interesting.
