Nice One.

At least 50 shades of gray

I could almost feel the heat and humidity while looking at this; it is so realistic.

Nicely done.

Thank you Thierry, Sean, and Paulo.
It's a real help to get your comments. These LA swamps have so much going on, it's often confusing how to make a good foto. Also, for someone who appreciates it's unique beauty, it's been demonized and Hollywood-ed beyond belief.
Thanks again.

Nice use of light and angle to bring out some structure. Your boat may limit you somewhat from easily zooming with your feet and changing height. OTOH I find myself shooting a lot from very low on land, using a tilting LCD (#3 in my last post), which opens up another dimension of compositional possibilities.

Hi Scott,
Thank you for enlarging my concern about finding appropriate order. I looked at your low-vantage-point foto and found it interesting because it definitely brings a certain tactile quality to the image. I'm going to have to play more with holding the camera as low as I can.
From the kayak I almost always photograph from a sitting position. To standup can be too risky. To get out of the boat can be really muddy.
Thanks again.
Richard
