Thanks for the comment M.I. Wijngaarde. Fyi, the bundle of bamboo sticks is really quite heavy. I tried lifting it by both hands and i couldnt lift it above my knees. The bamboo has the more natural light since this was taken at around 4pm. The upper portion specifically the sky wasnt that really dramatic and was actually quite pale. I used 2 ND here(one is graduated) to have an underexposed sky and to slow the exposure. Ofcourse, there is PS adjustment here. I applied burning to all parts of the image except for the bamboo. Well i guess i should have applied burning to all elements to have a more natural look. But there is no composite here, just a single exposure.

thanks again all for the comments and critiques :)

One of the mangrove trees that survived over decades of uncontrolled

cutting. This place is located in the island of Mindanao,

Philippines. Right now, the government launched a project called

fishery resource management program that will protect and

rehabilitate marine resources.
