I really like the light on the reeds. The overall composition has a dark tone which I really like. The deepness of the red is almost like blood. I think your creature is out there HF.
I really like your choice of coloring for this one. The marsh reeds seem to be marching, like a military unit. Left to right and down the small hill, they march as they rush on to join their comrades on this campaign.
9/10 vb just now. I'd like to see someone squat down, get the reeds and the sun setting or rising or whatever was happening. I get the feeling of wanting to see more in this shot. Anyway its still stunning. :)
The beer urges me on, the bewitching beer, which sets even a wise man to singing and to laughing gently and rouses him up to dance and brings forth words which were better unspoken.
