I haven't had much time to shoot anything for the past couple of weeks, but I did come up with these. Are they any good for this theme, and if so, which one?

These are all flooded areas: a normally dry river bed with water coming from the Karst underworld, and an intermittent lake in #7, which has risen to an extremely high level.

What do you think?

    i am not seeing the first image...but #2 through 6 are beautifully captured....but I think 7 is the one that speaks the them more. Since the standing water with a tree in it give the impression of the ground being saturated...and the moving river water shows the water moving over the land and not necessarily saturated. JMO.

    Ana,

    Pictures 4, 6, and 7 seem to say it the best. Of those #7 looks saturated since it's a flood. My problem is that I don't 'feel' saturated. Maybe it's because you are close to shore and so the submerged tree isn't that far from the land so it doesn't feel that flooded (obviously it is very flooded). Maybe there is a crop that eliminates the shore on the right so the boat and tree seem to be less anchored to the shore. I'm not sure I'm making any sense at all with this rambling.ne_nau.gif

    I like all of them, #7 the best, but I think Tom is right.

    Thanks everybody for your input!

    I searched my folder for another photo of the submerged tree and the boat, but it was impossible to shoot the scene without capturing the shore as the boat is practically ON the shore. :D

    I did find a few other shots of the flooding lake. Any contenders?

    Okay #3 is really doing it for me. It's my winner. I feel saturated looking at that picture. :D #6 is a beautiful shot, too, but I don't think it fits the theme quite as well.

    Great pictures. thumb.gif
