Last of the Cypress

[BarryHamilton]

Last take from last Friday at the cypress swamp, I promise.
Found a little more open avenue into the woods, and still zoomed to 220mm and cropped a bit as well to try to clean up the edges.
Maybe just how my mind works, but the reflections especially made me think of an old gothic cathedral, with massive pillars and arched windows.

I like the depth compression you are getting with the 220mm lens - adds interest for this scene. Very nice reflections too.

This is wonderful. Makes me wanna cruise around that front tree & see what else is back there. The reflections look exactly as you imagined, Gods Church!

Very good and different scene. It's amazing the variety of beauty lurking out there.,

Hey Barry,

I thought from the title you had captured the last standing cypress tree. Sounds a bit crazy I know, but that's where my mind went.

This is a very cool shot, probably my favorite of the whole series! Everything is in focus, a great reflection, a well balanced composition, really perfect looking in my eyes!

[BarryHamilton]

Many thanks, fellas!! I think you can see why it's a special place for me, especially being so handy!

 

[Kyle Jones]

I love this. Great separation, reflections, color... Awesome.

 

[BarryHamilton]

Thanks, Kyle! That's very kind!

I don't get the "gothic cathedral", but I do think this is better than the other similar shot. Very nice Barry...

 

[BarryHamilton]

Thanks, Zeph! Your mind doesn't work weirdly enough.
