Taking a break from birds today. This palm fond along the boardwalk behind the Visitor Center at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge caught my eye for what the light was doing to shape…caught it and lead it a merry chase toward infinity down that spiral.  I zoomed in pretty tight for emphasis.

Canon SX40HS at 260mm equivalent field of view.  f5 @ 1/100th @ ISO 800. Program with iContrast and -1/3EV exposure compensation.

Processed in Lightroom for intensity, clarity, and sharpness. Cropped slightly on the left to eliminate a distracting element.
