Shot in April, Lake Martin is best known for its rookery, which has been one of the most populated in this hemisphere, with huge numbers of wading birds, as well as owls and other raptors. There is also a healthy population of gators.

I feel like I'm in the presence of giants both literally and figuratively with this image. What a wonderful group of trees and fantastic light.

These trees always make for wonderful subjects. They have such a unique shape. The light in this image is wonderfully rich and your composition makes this image very easy to enjoy. Well done.

Looked great in the thumbnail already and is even better in the bigger size here. Great shot, Bill.

Some nice sidelight to add warmth and contrast the duckweed. We don't have cypress growing that open this far south, but I love these types of scenes.

Hi Bill,

Giants! Very nice image, I do notice something strange on the left border (a rectangle) but just a minor nit.
