Ghost Palm

      The only difference between these pictures is the shutter speed and aperture settings (except the one that looks like a sketch which I've included because….well, because it's pretty awesome and came directly from my camera, no photoshop [which would be cheating]).   My favorite here is the first, where a small aperture setting and slow shutter speed give us a wide range of focus, while still filtering enough light to give a sense of the time of day.  
        The reflections coming from the palm tree add some diffuse light rays to the shot.  You might notice, though, that the ghost palm (I'm calling the reflected palm tree the ghost palm) is growing a real, live coconut!  We're all very happy for it.
