Stick in a Bog, Highway 103

I spent a couple of hours in a big bog at the side of the highway yesterday. Overcast but very bright. I was using a polarizer and the resultant shutter speeds were long. The ground under the tripod was pretty spongy. This led to some not-too-sharp photos. I’ve tried to go with that and do some impressionistic images.

I like this simple stick. Even though the original image was one of the sharper ones, I still like the Orton effect. I’m not sure about the crop. I should also probably come up with a better title.
