What do you guys think of this one for translucent?

I've been a little depressed lately, so for no apparent reason I woke up this morning, grabbed my camera hopped in my car and just drove. Ended up in a place called Seabeck, WA. I'm glad I did, got rid of the blues for sure.

Here's one of the shots that I thougt would work for the latest theme.

I call it...... "I'm Okaye" if you look closely you'll see why. And it kind of fits with how I ended up feeling after I was done shooting/refelecting.

I like the shot, but I don't see the translucent in it

Doesn't water have translucent properties?

It can be if it is murky or deep enough, but in this shot I see the reflection off the water not light tranmitting through it. To really show translucency you need to show how the light is affected as it travels through the water.

I'm not seeing translucent in that shot. If you could clearly see the rocks and sand at the bottom of the water, I think it'd be a good entry.

Just a quick definition

In optics, transparency is the property of allowing light to pass. Transparent materials can be seen through; that is, they allow clear images to pass. The opposite property is opacity. Translucent materials allow light to pass through them only diffusely, that is, the material distorts the image. Also known as diaphaneity, a commonly used term in mineralogy
