A Place to Spit
This time of the year Luling, Texas is all about watermelons! I believe the big annual "Watermelon Thump" was just recently completed. Of course you've seen Luling's watermelon shaped water tower? When we were there last weekend I spotted this seed spitting venue! :-) Not sure if this is a permanent venue or just seasonal.

There are a lot of elements of this photo that I really like, but, (and there is always a "but") I am having trouble understanding how all the elements relate. This just may be my "good photo, but I do not understand why the buffalo is running" moments. Good job with seeing this and then with the post processing.
Thanks Patrick!
This one is really just for fun to document a little local color and to drive home the fact that Luling = watermelons! :-)
Cheers!

It's a good demonstration of how HDR really opens up an image. It does need something though, to me it a person or people. Maybe not an actual spitter, but someone to add to the "folksy" look to the shot.
