The contrast of colours really works great. I feel a bit sad for the cypress, it looks like it's struggling, all alone like that. This is a kinda Zen shot Pat, nice.

I hope the little cypress tree grows up to be the biggest, baddest cypress tree ever! This is wonderful, with the bright red leaves and the rippled water reflecting the sky and clouds so far above... Good 'un!

Oh Pat, that is Simplicity Exemplified! I love this photo very much. Not only the colours, but the lovely cypress will grow to be huge and even more beautiful than it is now. I wish I had one near me! They are such special trees, and with all the ripples of the water soothing it, it'll be alright.One of your best photos Pat!! Bravo on this one.
