Composition is interesting with the diagonal lineup of the tree trunks. Reflections in the water are wonderful.

I know why you have the yellow border but I dont like it with these trees
It may be me but it looks a bit grainy I dont know why but a good topic and good idea

The subject is good in this photo. I think if it were me, I'd have got some more of the trees or more of the reflections. There seems to be a ton of potential here, if it isn't cropped to cut something out of the picture. The trees have some really cool trunks and I can see why you focused on them. 7

Great bald cypress, but lose the frame please.

Good composition, even the branches add to the flow of the shot. It looks a bit washed out on my monitor. Maybe if you increased the saturation and contrast. But, it could be my monitor, although, compared with other pictures in this challenge that doesn't seem to be the problem.

Great shot but the border really detracts from the image. Using the actual NG shade might have been better.

I like this but it looks like there is quite a bit of noise in this photo.

These yellow borders hurt the pics.

Nice entry and nicely cropped. It appears a little over exposed and the colors are somewhat washed out [flat]. I do love these old trees and their expressive roots. Very mysterious looking trees.

Congrats on the cover shot! Nice composition and dof.

Great shot. The dynamics of the twigs and branches are dramatic. The yellow border is overpowering though. But you photo is, I'll say again, awesome.
