I took this photo Monday evening, as the sun began to set behind the cypress trees. This is from Bayou Desiard, the bayou that runs behind my house.

Canon 10D, 70-200 f4L, tripod.

Very nice. I like the mood of the picture.

I'm wondering if it would be better to have the trees on the right side instead of centered...

Jenny-

The light on the moss really gives this one a wonderful glow. You did a fine job on the B & W conversion!

Thanks everyone. No, Ken, this one was from dry land. But kayak weather is nearly upon us down here. :D

Jenny - This is like a shining beacon of hope for the Louisiana wetlands. Luminous and proud. Quiet and still.
