p.1 #1 · Sand Boils and Leaves


Hi All,

Visited the springs at the Ocala National Forest with no other than our Hugh and some other dear friends. This is the first image I processed looking straight down into the springs. The water comes up through the sand and makes it look like it is boiling hence the name. There are two small boils here - one right beneath the leaves and the other to the top of the palm tree and to the right. A couple of bass as well . The water is so clear that if not for the leaves this could be mistaken for an underwater image.

Thanks for looking.

Best,

Jose

Great image that may look better bigger. (or in my case on a bigger monitor where I don't have to scroll through it)

Honestly, I'd rather have seen the leaf down in the lower right hand corner. Where it stands, it seems to fight against the brightness of the lower right. It'd be cool to see it break up the corner.

Anyhow, I'd be proud to have taken this one.

Best,
Daniel

Lovely and interesting image, Jose. But more than that, there is so much more to explore than just to see the immediate image. The tiny patterns and shapes are almost mesmeric, contained as they are in that gorgeous light; and surrounded by the dark. The black frame adds to the interest as the black at the top of the picture sort of comes out of it. An exploration of inner space so to speak - just tantalising.

Totally wow. I love this. Mesmerising, as if I was looking into a deep well. The two leaves are just awesome.
Yes, and the frame is superb.

Very very cool, the colors and shapes are really intriguing. As noted.. those floating leaves really make the image shine. This is one I could imagine staring at for a while!

Hello Jose',

You were right about this one working very well. Just a bit of strangeness with shadows for a hint of mystery, and the leaves as a finishing touch. Well seen and captured .

Once one's eyes have taken firm hold of the two only vestiges of the world as we know it (above water), this becomes a fascinating tour in the underworld. Neatly done, Jose.

Very effective, Jose. The simplicity of the two lone leaves quickly draw out attention.

Fascinating and striking image, Jose!! The fall colored leaves offer a wonderful contrast to the rest of the scene. It took me a minute to figure this out. Very, very, very cool!!

There's alot going on in the this Jose, very intriguing image. I think it balances out nicely between the algae side and the brighter sandy side, the fish add grounding and perspective.... neat place.
