 Went on a swamp tour at the Honey Island Swamp in Louisiana - what a beautiful place. Photos can hardly do it justice, though with tone mapping, it gets close. Swamps always remind me of prehistoric landscapes, hence my title.

Nice shot, maybe at a lower angle, this would have more of a punch in the face with the settings. Good clean crisp colours adn nicely sharpened

I'm sure this won't score terribly high with the DPC crowd, but I love this one. One thing I enjoy about this site is that rare photo that shows us something we've never seen before or haven't seen for years, this takes me there, great shot. Very much appreciated.
