Swamp Cypress 10, Natchez Trace Parkway, Mississippi

Last (but not least) in the current series of swamp cypress from the Natchez Trace Parkway in Mississippi. This is definitely my favorite, although I can't really put my finger on *why* it's my favorite. What are your thoughts?

Any comments or ratings are appreciated! :-)

Good composition, and the color balance on this looks spot-on. I really think the greens and magenta on the previous postings (e.g., #7-9) ought to be revisited. I think you've found the right prescription with this one. Nifty light too. Good details on the 'primordial ooze.' I'm assuming that you didn't dangle your toes in this stuff; did you? Cheers! Chris

Don't forget my previous comments about being, um, "concerned" about alligators....

This is also my favorite of the three you just posted. The play of light is very interesting in this one and adds "life" to the shot. The way the trees line up diagonaly is a plus as well. Way to go!!!

Very nice image Lou Ann. I like the different direction of the trees, the play of light on the green ground . Nice DOF ,and well cropped and composed. my favorite.

Great colours, composition, and details.

 

Best regards Torfinn.

It's my fav too, I think it's just because we're up closer and more personal to the trees here, the nice light makes it all feel less intimidating. Colors are just right....maybe B&W with a little infrared editing?!

Susan - I really wanted to post all of these swamp pics here on photo.net in color, because I really love the lush greens. I have been playing with B&W renderings of them all, as well, and when the time comes to print, I may have to do a B&W series/collection. :-)
