TITLE: W for the Win

I captured this image on a cold November morning in the Louisiana bayou. I was paddling along in my kayak and noticed these two ancient cypress trees standing apart from the rest of the swamp. After slowing to a stop and letting the water calm, I placed my tripod in the water and used a longer exposure to capture the moment. The two trees together reminded me of the letter "W".
