Mountain Swamps

A marshy swamp in the mountains? I know, crazy right? This sits at around 3,800ft in elevation between Clay and Macon County in Western North Carolina. I had considered doing a big impressive sunset over the swamp here, but found this composition by the lakeside as the light was waning a bit. So I scuttled my plans to try and get some decent light shooting from the road and hunkered down on the soft wet ground shooting across the swamp into this mountain top in the distance. Found this log in the foreground, unfortunately I ignored my own advice and didn't bend this sapling back and it sits prominently in the bottom right. Otherwise I enjoy this shot, the colors, contrast, light reflections.

A K&F CPL to help brighten the blues in the sky, cut through the reflections a bit.. This is a focus stack of 42 images.
