I did a quick trip up to Fisheating Creek, the last free flowing waterway that feeds into Lake Okeechobee. I went maybe 5 miles upstream the first day and spent 2 hours paddling in our wonderful summer thunderstorms. Despite starting in 91 degree heat, I was quite chilled at the end of it.

Hey Paul,
Sweet light that conveys the mood of the river and cypress very well. Perhaps a lightening of the LH side a touch?....almost looks like a line so a bit of light play in the leaves/greenery may break that up some. You are doing a great job capturing the mood and feel of these Florida locations....very nicely done!
Hi Paul,you have a good eye picking out compositions in areas where the terrain blends into itself. Warm,filtered lighting sets a pleasing mood along with an offset center of interest. Well handled!
I think the warm tones really work well in this image.
Logistically, I am guessing you are getting out of the kayak, setting up a tripod and making the images. Is this correct? If not, how is it being made. Thanks for the insight into the process.
One of my favorite places to paddle, and I'm glad you got out there to capture the essence of this florida gem before the water levels got too low. I love everything about this photo, beautiful tones.
