 The original was very grey and drab, and remained so despite the routine color adjustments. So I used a warming filter in PS.

Addendum: Way too cold for alligators up here in November.

Oh, Great shot and processing. Looks ominous and foreboding. I like this one a lot because it is so very well done.

Nice lines, light and warm atmosphere (must be the filter). Did you consider a B&W conversion?

I like the tonality of this. Nice marsh composition. Only problem is that stick. why didn't you wade out and get it out of the photo??? just joking.

I think warming filter enhanced this shot and the reflections are great on the swampy water.. Agree w tinky2 you wouldn't catch me in there for all the tea in China.. Fear of what else could be there..

Like the colour effect. Am drawn to two aspects here: the light picking up the dusting of pollen/leaf litter on the still water, and the way the light works on foliage and trees in the upper background. MelonM may be right about the size limiting the appreciation of the whole.

I have been working on trying to get good interesting shots of areas similar to this in the swamps of the Florida Everglades, and it seems that the scenes are just too complex for images that are to be viewed at 640 pix wide size. The places are beautiful when visited in person, but it just does not come thru in smaller pics. The filter helped with the color in this one.

Nice work with the filter. This place looks kind of scary to me - like there are snakes and alligators and other scary stuff.
