Big Cypress
Here's another hdr image I took last night at a small lake just outside of Little Rock called Rosenbaum Lake. I took this shot at about 7:25pm with dark clouds overhead, so the exposures were quite long.

Hey Scott, any green showing up on these guys yet? I've got my canoe-in-a-bag all packed and ready to head down your way for some of those early spring greens in the swamps.

There are buds all over the trees on the bank, but I didn't see any on the cypress just yet.

Hey Scott, I like the composition and the position of the elements in the frame, well done. You've got a good eye for composition.

IMO the post processing, while unique and artistic, is detracting from what I believe to be a potentially wonderful intimate landscape. Just my $0.02 worth.

Thanks for sharing. :wavey:

Hey Scott looks like you are developing your own style. The processing gives the images a very artsie kind of look. The swamp areas down your way are vey beautiful your lucky you have them so close to home.

Same here, pour on the miracle grow. Seems like spring is taking forever but it's not even April yet.

Scott, you've certainly created a unique post-production style. I, like Wayne, would like to see some straight photo work, too. I think the composition of this one is quite excellent, but the post-production is a bit heavy, IMO.
