It is dreamy, which fits the subject. The pano crop works well for this.

The larger this gets, the better it is! Really nice!

To be honest David, I'm having a hard time making sense of this one.  I'm sure it's just me.  It makes more sense in context of the series but standing alone it's not my cup of tea. I love your work and images from the swamps.

David, This is pretty cool looking and the larger version works much better. The longer I look at this the more interesting it gets for me. Reminds me of a very smooth satin finish on a special piece of wood grain at first look. cool

David,

Certainly ethereal and mysterious.  A little more less than obvious as your first impression effort, and so I'm kinda on the fence with this one.  I do find this working very well in a series of "impressions" of the swamp, but find it less compelling that most all of your stellar work of the more traditional presentations.  Regardless, I can see this as being a very successful body of work, assuming you continue and there's more...
