Footprints in the Sand

Comments appreciated.

what did you do here? the footprints appear to make a positive impression in the sand rather than a depression...nice

I Love The way the low light creates the illusion that the prints are raised up

The light actually comes from the right and from behind, but the image is flipped with respect to the original exposure, then the light is manipulated and changed from positive to negative for the footprints using photoshop or something. Flipped and then positive to negative. Anyway, it can't be because of natural light conditions, for I have never seen in my existence footprints to appear inverted in the sand.

actually there was no manipulation done to the photo at all except for a small amount of cropping. Shot was taken at sunrise, my feet sunk in deeper on one side, so the depressions are inverted on the side the sun is striking.
