Shadows on a Wekiva Springs Trail

This was one of the first pictures I took with my new camera when Ben took me to Wekiva Springs for practice. I wanted to try to recreate the shadows that zig-zagged across the white sandy trail. I'd like to try it again someday, even though I'm reasonably satisfied with this experiment. I think I learned some important things from this first effort that I could improve upon in a second try. The foliage, especially, was not what I would have liked and I wish I'd used more of a yellow green than a blue green. The shadows taught me about how much water to use to make the gray light enough but also smooth enough to make the steady line across the sheet of paper.
