This picture is about light penetrating dark regions of the Okefenokee Swamp. The bottom of the picture is the very dark water in the swamp with patches of reflected features from the forest. On the left side is a large, gray, bald cypress tree, adorned by gray Spanish moss partially highlighted by the morning sun. The background is the focus of this picture. It is primarily Spanish moss and other vegetation that, with highlights from the sun reach into other areas that is obscured most of the day. The right side is green vegetation and Spanish moss.

This photo is about the Spanish moss that is backlit by the morning sun and is reflected in the very dark water of the Okefenokee samp. On the right side of the picture is a tree that is mostly hidden by green vegetation. There is a long branch that is extending from the tree and it supports a curtain of Spanish moss. There is some green vegetation intertwined with the moss. The moss is partially reflected in the water.
