Tannic ice desaturated & lightened slightly -
Another of my favorite abstracts. This is a bit of ice and rock on the Wisconsin River just downstream from my house. It’s hard to find compelling images in November, but I had just bought my G9 so I had to go out and try.
I was drawn to the shapes in the cracked ice and the lichen on the rocks. The general jumble, et there are some unifying elements present, too. The yellowish ice is just frozen tannins.
Specific Feedback Requested
Should I desaturate the yellow in the ice? It’s a natural part of the scene so my instinct is to leave it, but since this is really an abstract it can go either way.
Technical Details
Is this a composite: No
Probably handheld -
Lr processed for a 2:3 crop and some exposure and white balance adjustment. It was a really overcast day so I boosted color, clarity & contrast, too.
