23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
Red Swamp
I am a beginner. The photo hasn't any specific story behind, it's just the magic of the first ever early walk WITH MY OLD LEGENDARY NIKON D700, which I just got from my photographer friend as a gift. I didn't know what I was doing, I didn't even know the settings on the camera! I just saw the swamp and felt that there is something more than water and fallen leaves - As if the color RED was calling me, challenging me. I just followed the sense, like a child. For me the photo shows the unbelievable power of the color RED - calms you down and gives you warmth, but at the same time "hypnotizes" you and makes you dive in it.
