Grog like Caddolake! Can hunt many fish to feed Grog's females and younglings.

The low angle lighting and the reflections are sweet in this one. The water lines on the trees have a lot to do with how this photo effects me as a viewer. It's a very relaxing or soothing photo to look at. Maybe it's because I am quite at home in places like this, and I know how it looks, feels, and smells there.

I am fascinated by the water level lines. They have such a nice symmetric pattern.

I loved Linda Ronstadt's version of that song. This certainly has the slow feel of a Louisiana day. :)

OMG .. this is stunning .. i was watching a program on foxtel yesterday about bloodsuckers .. showed so many .. leeches, those bats that drink blood and a heap of others including insects .. apparently mosquitos are the biggest killers in the insect kingdom .. anyway he was in a boat in one scene very much like this .. he put his foot in the water to hopefully get a leech to suck on him .. it did .,.. i love those sort'v shows .. so educational and so interesting ..
anyway .. i love the beautiful tones and reflections .. its an awesome shot .. :)

Beautiful! I can just imagine escaping to float around in a little row boat.

Beautiful reflections and depth.

That is really beautiful. Nice capture.

Thank you so very much, shooting in the bayou's or everglades is truly special.
Glad my photo was pleasing.

I agree with Josh....I like the reflections quite a bit, but that border seems a little overbearing. Have you tried this in B&W?

Thank you for your comments I do appreciate it. The white lines on the trunks are flood line, the highest was about 23 feet high !

Nice colors here and great reflections. What are those white lines on the trees?
On a side note I would ditch the border, just my opinion but I try to only add (lately at least) borders when it really enhances the shot. I think this would stand well enough on its own or with just a simple, thin black border.
