Composing a Bog Image

"A"

"B"

Sometimes a slight change in position or focal length creates a significant change in where your eye goes in an image.  My eye path in image "A" seems to stop at the top of the green foreground, eventually leading my eye to the left upper corner.  "B" starts my eye at the bottom, leads it to the upper left, over to the upper right, and out of the frame. Where does your eye go?

A Stroll in the Bog

This is an easy stroll in the bog but unfortunately no flowers are here, it's too dry. I was using my iPhone compass until I hit  a dead zone so could only use it to take this picture resorting to my trusted hand compass to lead me out of the bog. Technical: a tough lighting situation with any camera. I used the PureShot app  to lock exposure so everything was within the histogram, then worked Lightroom magic to get a decent image.

Bog Landscape

When our daughters were growing up one of their questions was "Are we going on a hike or a walk?  A walk was on a groomed trail and a hike was on an uneven trail.  Going through the bog is beyond a hike. I used this for a desk top image for a couple days but got claustrophobic and took it down.
