Stalks reaching the sky

While exploring Texas, I came across a marshy area that was followed on the journey by these stalks reaching high into the sky. I dropped down low to get this picture from a worm's eye view (as opposed to bird's eye view) to capture the stalks towering high above me. It worked! This image was exhibited as a print at an art show. It was my entry photo into the exhibit. I loved the green-yellow stalks against the blue sky.

Corpus Christi Ocean Waves

Photographed on the beach at Corpus Christi, TX as the ocean waves crested and moved toward shore. The key to getting a good ocean picture is to stand at an angle so that the horizon line and the waves are not completely horizontal and there is some depth and drama to the photo. I enlarged this print to a 16x20 and the deep blue water with the frothy, white waves always get oohs and aahs, especially when I get to the part about sunset...
