Spirit of the Swamp

[chad anderson]

This was taken on a kayaking trip last weekend. I have always loved the shapes of cypress roots, but have never been able to capture them in a way that expressed their mysterious nature. But I think this shot does it. You may also notice what seems to be a face peering out from the roots on the right side, I did not add this. This creation was done in camera except for sat, and levels.

Chad,
Mysterious indeed! The more I look, the more faces I find. Fascinating image.

This is surely a spiritual interpretation, and an effective one. You realy caught the mood here. :)
