Wonderful! I often like to frame this sort of shot in a way that excludes the obvious visual cues as to what it is -- e.g., use just the upper right portion to create a natural abstract art. But this as it stands is absolutely stunning in my book.

Thanks for your kind words.
I like the sense of place in this shot. The moss and the cypress trees fading off into the background are very nice. Nice use of backlighting.
I think if it were mine I would have toned down the bright backlight moss a bit and maybe bumped up the exposure on the GBH a bit just to emphasize it a bit more. (That's assuming that you wanted to emphasize the GBH.)

Makes me want to go there!
That's a lovely image. Really captures the feel of a cypress swamp. Well done.

Beautiful image; if it were mine, I'd tone down the brightness a bit in the upper half and maybe lift the brightness JUST a smidge on the Blue Heron in the foreground.

It makes me feel like I’ve been there before. (wink) Or want to go back. I don’t think I got any environmental portraits like that. Your timing with the heron right in front of the dark tree is perfect. Next time we switch sides on the boat, my friend..

Thank you Michael Landrum
Beautiful shot, well captured and presented. Reminds me of my single visit there back in the early 80's. Not sure I even have those old prints still around.

The ethereal look, feel and colours are great. I would have taken the bird out I find it a distraction in the scene. Others my not find it distracting.
Super, very nice
