"In the center of the picture, I shall situate this leafy green complex of tree-borne plantlife as the main subject. Toward the lower left, I shall align the prevailing orientation of these tree branches with the diagonal shadow cast by the bridge on which I am standing, in approximate parallel," I announced as I took pictures.

"This is RIVERBANK PLANTLIFE OF CONGAREE RIVER," I bellowed proudly when I had finished, and I proceeded to walk the rest of the way across the bridge.
