A fellow photographer on a rare morning in the cypress swamp with the temperature below freezing. Sometimes its best to just let go and enjoy the moment.

Gorgeous shot David, really wonderful. I love the composition, the kayakers position in the frame, and the reflection of his paddle. Whereabouts is this cypress swamp, I used to live in south Louisiana and have spent some time in the Atchafalaya.

Thomas,,,,,this is a little farther north in Caddo Lake. I spend a lot of time in and around the Atchafalaya and hope to get back out this weekend.

Very nice indeed. I especially enjoy how he really seems to be looking for that perfect composition.

Nice David, below freezing at Caddo Lake in early Nov?? Probably doesn't happen a lot.

What a gorgeous place in these weather conditions. I hope you also have a photo without people in it, though it does add extra…both will be nice!

Grt, Ingrid.

The the fellow in the kayak adds a sense of scale to this misty, magical scene David. Wonderful capture.

I really like the feel to this David. The foggy mist really makes this.
