Springtime Exploration and Fun in Dry Tortugas National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking around and exploring Garden Key in Dry Tortugas National Park. The view is to the northeast using the shoreline as a leading line into the image and setting. I liked how that shoreline created a contrast with the plant-life and vegetation versus that of the turquoise waters coming to the shore.

I’m Off to Explore Dry Tortugas National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking around and exploring Fort Jefferson in Dry Tortugas National Park. The view is looking to the northwest using a seawall path as a leading line into the image with the waters of the Gulf of Mexico beyond. This was another idea I'd come across on both Flickr and Instagram for images to capture while visiting this national park. In composing this image, I used the seawall and walkway to frame a setting beyond to the blue and turquoise waters, as well as raising the horizon a little higher into the image to create more of a sweeping view to look across.
