Went to the everglades...

[poof]

and got a few shots in before it got dark.

Here's the first one I liked.

A few more came out pretty cool.

I couldn't take too many shots. I had to keep one eye on my little girl and the other out for Burmese Pythons!

ok, you've got me, is it a bush, a small tree or full grown? To me it looks like a full grown tree implanted into the picture (pardon pun). Very cool.

It's a full grown dwarf cypress.
I'll post a shot with more context when I get back to the house.

Here's another.

I really like the monochrome

 

[poof]

Thanks.

Here's some with a full size cypress. Feels like a family.

I couldn't decide on color or b&w with this one.

I would go with monochrome again,

only thing is I find the stuff in the foreground a bit distracting, but I'm a noob so maybe I'm wrong... but hey everyone's a critic

 

[poof]

The rangers wouldn't let me chop them down.

I think its the grass being slight out of focus that gives it a feeling that the trees are not originally in the picture. They fade into the grass. I think a repositioning 20' to the left couldve helped the last picture focus more on the main tree imo, but the lighting might be off then. I like 1, 2 and 3.. interesting pics.
