Well done. I like the dappled sunlight.

This is a fine exposure of a swampy area as it is quite difficult to separate the greens and yellows.

Those swamp images are always a bit magical as I've got no experience with this environment!

Thank you Bob_B, Eric, Chris, and Francois.
It's a beautiful wetlands and I just want to do it justice.
Take care All.

PS: Chris, some people find them ominously unsettling. One of the first Europeans to write about then said, "When God was trying to decide if this place was to be land or water, God chose neither".

God made a good choice, IMHO.   ;)

I agree, sometimes, no decision is best!

Richard has found a way to make photos in these lighting conditions appealing. Very well done.

Did you see Brian Laundrie there, by any chance?

Thank you Rajan, Burt, and Slobdan.

Rajan: To me, the lighting gets very nice as the sun gets low and it's not all that hard to capture the scene if I'm patient and can keep the boat reasonably still.

Matt: It is an endlessly fascinating place, one I've been photographing for 13 years.

Slobodan: Did not see anyone there who's been in the news lately. And if they have been for possibly the wrong reasons, then the big local lizards would surely escort them elsewhere.

Here's a foto from a week ago.

This one makes me a bit claustrophobic… Beautiful shot and great mood.
