This was a picture I took in high school. I also used this picture for my picturization project. Because I used a slow shutter speed on this photo, I was able to capture more light in the water. We also have some natural lighting streaming in from the back of the river. The lightness of the water in this picture is really what makes it unique. It smooths over the water and sets it apart from other river pictures. It makes it more mystical and like it belongs in a fantasy forest. It helps to contrast the darker, more shadowy sections of the photograph.
