The Face of Nature

The Face of Nature

Uploaded: November 13, 2017 04:37:47 | Entered: November 13, 2017 04:38:35

Description

I was working on textures when I shot this picture, the combination of water and sand. When I pulled it up, Annie said that looks just like a face. She is right so the title was easy to come up with.
This is out of the camera and no photo shop work was done to modify the shape.

Entered in Nature and Landscapes
