I really tried to take a "pretty shot" of water, but realized that skill, composition, equipment and processing had conspired against me.
This was a result of ramping down the exposure to take a shot into the sun at a "natural" river near my house.
the title means "heart of darkness," a Google translation of the Conrad novelette, involving a river, thats the connection. It sounded a bit classier, more dark and even sensual in French.
Very happy and thankful to receive all the comments and the recognition from P and B.

Paul, a wonderful capture. I love the abstract feeling to this one. Such great textures. So after your drive to Fairfield you ended up with a shot of water nearer home! But thanks for making the trip. Bear and I enjoyed meeting you.
Upping this from 7 - 8 Body of water..? YEAH! Well photographed and rendered. Art to say the least and what simplicty has brought fourth so much emotions. Great work
I love texture. Pure unadulterated texture. Really rather beautiful. This could be anything I choose based on texture and I think your treatment of it is perfect. 8 Crap. Still loving it. bump to 10 and a fav. Will have 2 best images in this one...
