Description
Close up view of Dwarf Cypress trees growing in the waters of the Florida Everglades. Dwarf Cypress Trees are actually Pond Cypress trees, but due to low water levels and poor nutrients they stay small. These conifers lose their needle like leaves in the wintertime.
Captured on film with a large format camera. It is amazing how sharp this image is. The sharpness is equal or better than most modern digital cameras.
The Everglades National Park is a subtle place where earth, water, and sky blend in a low green landscape; where mere inches of elevation produce distinct changes in vegetation; and where a great wealth of birds and other wildlife find refuge. For this is almost exclusively a biological park dedicated to the preservation of a complex and precisely ordered living mechanism. It lies at the interface between temperate and sub-tropical America, giving a rich diversity of species, many at the limit of their ranges.
With its special significance to the Nation and the world recognized by making the Everglades a National Park, an International Biosphere Reserve, a World Heritage Site, and a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance, its preservation for the benefit of present and future generations is better assured.

I was thinking the same thing about the quality, what kind of film did you shoot? It's a great looking exposure as well!

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt that this image fits that bill. CONGRATULATIONS!
