Silica And Weeds

The moment I walked past this tuft of weed, I knew what the photo I was about to take was going to look like. You see there are some rules hmm… maybe more like guidelines in taking photographs. I’m no expert. Heck, I’m not sure I even qualify to be an amateur more like novice maybe. Anyhoo, one of the guides in composing photographs is to have leading lines. What this means is that when you have a particularly apparent line or lines in your photo, most of the time it would be make a better photograph if the lines were to lead the eyes of the viewer somewhere. Here, my leading lines are the shadows of the grass. And yes, I know, it leads nowhere. Nevermind.

Hmmm… When I took the photo, the shadows in the sand were actually bluish. Probably a reflection of the sky or something. Anyway, what I did was to select that color and then I desaturated it. Luckily, there aren’t anything else blue in the photo so nothing else was changed. Other than that, I changed nothing else with it.
