A small jagged rock stands out of the water at Wast Water in the English Lake District. The higher level of the water changes the appearance of the shoreline and these rocks, which may normally be clear from the water are now playing an important part in the composition. A wide angle lens enabled the impression of width, and had the effect of making the foreground rock look much bigger than it was. A long exposure calmed the choppy waters a little and allowed the sky to smear. The blue cast was intentional, as it adds to the effect.
