"Feel so bad, gotta worry much. I'm so lonesome all the time. Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou (singing mournfully)" --Oops, GREEN Bayou. Cool subject! I love allof the little details and contrasts here between the sumptuous green and dingy grays. The photo seems not as sharp as I'd like it to me, though. Still works for me!
Interesting choice. Touch fuzzy. maybe using landscape mode or closing down the aperture and increasing the shutter speed. Like to see a bit more of the reflections
The impact would have been more dramatic if you leveled your camera to the swamp water and gotten more of the scenery, at I think. Of course I wasn't there nor taking the picture.
Challenge is met, and you have an image with potential here. Great green colors reflected in the water, great reflections, period. Old tree stumps also often make a good subject. Here, there are too many other dead branches for my liking, making the image look a bit cluttered. Plus, it's not quite focused, or else use of USM would maybe help look this a little sharper.
