if Dr Seuss had a swamp

if Dr Seuss had a swamp

I found this swamp many miles from everything in the heart of big cypress preserve. I spent almost two and a half hours standing up to my knees waiting for the right light which never happened. This was the best I could come up with. Next time I go back I think I will try an orange or yellow filter and hope for much softer light.

I can't speak to the light, but you nailed the title! What a lovey, gestural growth of living things. Nicely found and seen, I hope you find the light you're looking for...
 
Amazing scene, do post one when you find the right light. It ought to be fairly awesome when you achieve it in my book.

two and a half hours in the water waiting for the light to change -- ain't that the way it goes? it's a marvelous image, great light or no
 
Thank you all! I am really looking forward to going back and trying to get it right. I think it will be all about the filter choice and more diffused light. I have some thoughts on a better composition also.
