Rivers, streams, and lakes are great subjects. Unlike ocean views with big waves and crashing surf, smaller bodies of water offer more intricate, delicate and layered elements to create a photograph. Keeping foliage and trees in your frame provides shadows, scale, definition and reflections on the water, making a much more complex and more interesting photograph. Through a pretty girl into frame and you cant miss. Water itself becomes a lens of sorts, distorting objects in it. The woman’s body, and especially her feet in the foreground, become distorted by the water, adding more intrigue to the shot.
