Lowcountry Cypress

Thank you for your creative critique. Corrections on this image involved

selective burning and dodging and minor contrast enhancements. The scene

in front of me was sublime, full of adventure. I deepened the shadows to

provide a bit of mystery, and composed the image to lead the eye to the light

at the end of the journey. Appreciate your comments!

Awesome composition and detail. Well done.

Perfect photo!

In addition to inherent swamp mystery, you've also retained excellent depth, not easy to do in a thickly vegetated scene.  I like the brighter lighting in the channel that leads our eyes well into the frame.  

On a lighter note, I'd say this is a Sally Mann with an excellent camera and lens ;-)... Mike
