My Lil' Buddy David Chauvin shooting Cypress trees at sunrise and in his Camo-Waders. Real men don't wear waders.

Great image Ronnie! Just hope there are no alligators or snakes in those waters! Probably leaches too..... Oh wait, there probably are..... BTW - Excellent capture!

Great image showing off those big cypress trees... but I don't see your "lil buddy" anywhere... just a big tripod with a camera. Hmmm... I guess he must be blending into the background?

Hey BB,,,,,,,I never wore waders before I started hanging around Jude. His bad influence made me soft. Now I'll have to post one of him in action. That was a fantastic morning to remember.

Wonderful place and (your usual) beautiful light, Ronnie !
Perhaps I'd crop a bit the top to give more evidence to your Lil Buddy.

A couple of cool images the 2 of you have shared. I can only imagine the memories and images you have of such outings. Thanks for sharing.

The light is killer. Like the tall cypress image with lots of detail and depth.
You guys got it made with wide expanses of water. Around the Glades we've got plenty of cypress but in more of a jungle like environment. Hard to find open water to give it that nice clean look.

Hehe... looks like you two could benefit from some "wet tripod" maintenance. BB, all the best to you, my friend!

Ronnie, it's great to see a person in this image as I had no idea how huge these cypress trees are until viewing this image and David's Weekly Challenge image. But I already knew how gorgeous these trees are from all of your prior images of this amazing area.

Awesome light. I love the warm glow on the cypress. Great shot.

Cool! Less artsy than David's entry, but a nice portrait which he should buy form you...
