Fall Cypress

I like the tight comp and the subtle color, and the blue cast of water. gorgeous as usual.

Beautiful, eerie mood. These trees looks so mysterious, as if they are hiding something. Well done here.

Gotta love these old cypress tree images, especially your collection from this area David. The various watermarks share a bit of history here too. Very nice indeed.

Beautiful, David. The soft light and subtle color is sublime, and the comp is excellent.

I so look forward to this late fall time, knowing David is going to be bringing more outstanding beauty from the swamps!
Gorgeous in every way.

I really enjoy your images of this place David, especially in autumn. Fantastic view especially the ghostly reflection. Hope all is well.

Lovely work, David. The flood lines give a great sense of the water dynamics. Never worked that far over in LA; did a lot of timber inventory over around Sterlington, North of Monroe, on Black Bayou. Nothing like a cypress/tupelo swamp in the Fall for beauty!

Great light and composition. The reflections really add to the image. The water lines on the trees also add a interesting allusion to the image.

Always love these images of yours. They get better each time.

Great image David. The shapes, colors and patterns all work together wonderfully. I feel like panned up slightly (a little less water, a little more foliage) might be an improvement.

I'll echo Morris' comments, I always look forward to your swampscapes, and this does not disappoint. Such a refreshingly unique subject (for me anyway) that you always present in such a reverent way.

Exquisite. The fantastic forms of these trees really come through in your photos.

Beautiful image David. I love all the details in the trees and the reflection makes it even better. Fine work with these trees!

Masterful. I've long admired your work with cypress and hope to visit some day. This is really amazing!

Beautiful in every way.

Gorgeous scene David. Love it.

Subtle color and lines make this photo exceptional.

David,
Outstanding . . .

What a great post for Halloween. Looks to be a pretty spooky place. Love it.

No offense, but you are the man, the swamp man! Ditto what Morris said, and beautifully presented.

Stunning colors and reflection!

You need to sell that to a record company that does Cajun music!

Great shot!

One of your best cypress shots. Killer reflection and the grey moss really makes the foliage colors pop. Absolutely love this one.

Sweet, as usual. The detail and tones you capture are always top notch!

So cool. Another classic Chauvin :)

Where ya been David?? I've really missed your posts lately, and certainly glad to see you posting again! This is absolutely gorgeous - certainly up to your usual high standards. No one does these better! Love the changing cypress and the l ower greenery and, as always, the moss is spectacular.

Beautiful - love it.

An impressive work for me, David. There is a kind of surrealistic look that I really appreciate.

Simply a stunner.
I wonder how long you have to be still in the water for this shot to finally "smooth out".... 5 minutes, maybe 10 ?

The other day I was photographing the perfect tree reflection in a little pond; it had such beautiful dramatic light behind the tree in the sky, creating a perfect dark back drop and reflecting in a magical way. I had spent ten minutes setting up my composition. I kid you not, when I finally pressed the shutter, milliseconds before, a huge rock completely pummeled the glassy surface near dead center... as my temper began to percolate in an almost instance, those familiar sounds of laughter subsided my fury... once again my son had contributed his creative vision into my photo. He's a wonderful kid, and I swear it's natures way of keeping things light and fun.

I never get tired of these cypress images David! Another wonderful image. Gotta get out here some day!
