Charles, I like this full-length one the best. BUT (here is my super uneducated take on it) I played with it some and cropping one to two feet above the fork in the main tree seems to work better for *me*. :) It seems that this leads my eyes deeper into the depth of the swamp whereas the full-length version scatters my eyes around a bit trying to settle on a point within the image. Maybe that's why my wife mutters "scattered brained" below her breath quiet often. :oops:;-)a

ETA: Great image, btw!!!

fotoi, I'm still figuring this one out. Good vanishing-point but I guess with me not living in a snow area something is eluding me about the whiteness/snow. I guess it's probably that I'm more "trained" by locale to see structure in things. Not knocking the image, but something doesn't register with me. Of course, since it stirred up these thoughts in me...it's "working"!!!! It got my attention! :-)

Thanks. Just a line of bricks in melting snow... I liked the shape and line.

I must have looked through these trifocals too much and worn the lenses out. I see the bricks now. Cool shot, whatever the case.

ETA: Man, I can't believe I said "Cool shot..."! Unintended puns abound!!!! :-D

Thank you. I will have to look at that.

Overcast winter day at Caddo Lake State Park. No snow.

What a beauty. Great to see you could get out for a little while. I haven't made it up there yet...

I agree, this is a fantastic image. Excellent texture, the subject is striking. And I love the black and white! Well done.
