On a day out with a plan to take some timelapse shots and process when I got home, I stopped to take a few pics of mangroves, I had a 3 stop ND filter on.

Those are fascinating looking - with or without filtration.

They have such an interesting root structure it would be interesting if you could get closer while still doing a panoramic view.

Mangroves are fascinating trees. Here in south Florida we have three kinds, white, red and black. I'm not entirely sure of the differences, but they are all protected. Requires a government permit to cut them, they protect the shoreline from storm surge during hurricanes and make important shallow water habitats for marine life. Bravo, beautiful images!

they do the same thing here, we get cyclones, and they also provide and healthy environment for so many different species of animals and fish.. I was going to get a closer look but I had a creek to cross and there are so many crocodiles in our waterways that I wouldn't be game to pass through the water when I can see what's in it.. maybe next low-low tide i can make it through.

Yep, that would be a new meaning for a snapshot!

Love them

It is a very nice image! I really like your choice of composition including the vast beach to the right.

I like the panoramic aspect ratio. The mangroves seem to be "alive" and walking towards the ocean!

Fortunately our crocodiles are less dangerous than yours! We do have them, in fact they inhabit a protected area of Everglades National Park, but they tend to stay put in their reserve and rarely venture out into waters where people are likely to encounter them. Alligators, on the other hand, are common in fresh water.

I really like the pano crop that you used, it just works. Well done!

thank you, I like it too and I'm thinking of printing and mounting onto acrylic, it's a calming sort of image

Eeesh! Yes indeed, I'd be staying away from any waters edge! Cool shot with a neat story!
