The water had been quite a bit higher up to this point. Now, walking out onto the marshy shore, you can find signs of water plants that had been present during the high-water time. This is an extended exposure that shows some motion blur, as the plants move in the breeze. The two bright tree limbs in the foreground and the plants at their base form the point of interest, with the remaining elements being darker or more obscured. I like the bed of plants on the lower left, which anchor the scene.
