Shot this at dawn last week, It's at an airboat launch in the Everglades, a place that's now in the news.

Here's the link to a python find from this very spot. http://www.nbc-2.com/story/15899293/2011/10/28/contractor-discovers-16-foot-python-in-everglades

A nice and tranquil scene Wayne. I would not think of that huge beast when looking at this.

Between The Creator and you, there is an image of peace and beauty....I love the soft light and pastel hues.

Wayne, your image reflects this specific atmosphere impressively to me. I appreciate the natural colors and delicate details especially in the larger version. A nicely balanced composition, consistent with the serenity of the scene to my eye.

I really like the pastel palette. The big sky, wet foreground and patchy land really speak of Florida.

Not a lot of drama in the composition, but I really enjoy the color palette and the nice reflection.

Really like the subtle colours in this image Wayne, and I love that glass like surface on the water that makes for a perfect reflection!

As to the 16-18 foot Python: Real shame there wasn't a photo of it at the end of that link, yet still amazed that they can grow to these lengths!

Nice composition and subtle colors Wayne. I'm glad the monster python didn't get you!
