it is a flood plane called the Laguna De Santa Rosa not far from where I now live in Sonoma County Ca and Brenda is correct tons of rain changed this from a small creek to a vast lake. It drains into the Russian River valley.

Bit late to the party but have to agree with all other comments. A very special shot! Well done Richard. Dennis

thanks again for all the nice comments. I pixel peeped the image and thought the camera was set to the B/W mode by mistake and it was not until I saw the color in the image on the computer that I new I had something special. catman

exceptional shot Richard. The composition, mood and subject are all over the top. We do not get many pictures like this in our lifetime. I like the bit of green - it contrasts the red and makes me reallize the whole picture is color. brent

thank you all for the nice comments. I have photographed this tree several times after the water level rose but was never impressed. but on this day I saw what I wanted and just waited for the canoe to move to the right side of the tree and there I took several shots of which this was the best.

A magnificent composition, superbly shot and presented. Wow, Richard, this is good!

Really nice, Richard. It's been a tiring day for me and this is very soothing! Barry

Guest		29-Jan-2010 12:54
I do so agree! The touch of red and green really makes this. Lovely shot. Frank

Guest		29-Jan-2010 08:36
Wow, this is soooo good!! The splash of bright orange gives a stong focal point to an already great image.

This is such a lovely shot Richard! I'm a sucker for fog and nothing makes me feel more solitude than fog. I used to love to go walking about my small home town when there was a heavy fog, I always felt like I was the only living soul and I kinda liked that for a short bit of time. I think the person in the kayak must have that feeling a bit.

This is magical! The softness of the mist and light, and the touch of color with the orange, make for a lovely combination. Is this a flooded area? I suspect so, in which case you and I have turned to similar situations for our inspiration. I know you had a lot of rain in your area.
