I love the faint golden glow on the cypresses. The mood is tranquil, perfect for a calm end of the day.

Are the water level bands from flooding or was it low tide ?

Francois, glad you enjoy this one.

Degrub, the water level in Pearl River is extremely low as this region of west Mississippi/east Louisiana is in a deep months long drought.

A nice scene with a good quality of light and nice reflections. Looks like AF focused on the trees behind your subject, unfortunately.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the neeed heads up. The focus is certainly behind the knees and not where I wanted it.
Is the focus off or am I ? Likely the latter.
Appreciate your support.
Am off to try the same again.
