‘Arthur River’

Judge’s comment - What has been excluded makes this shot. Just the foam on the surface of the water. This has been enhanced by using high contrast monochrome. I can imagine the original capture was very plain but the idea was in the mind. Excellent!

Congratulations Barb a well deserved win.
