This is the current version, by the way. The reflections in the water are placeholders - most of the reflections aren't in the right places. I'm planning to put more details on the nearer trees, and need to figure out what to do to the sky to make it match the bright patch on the water. That's all assuming I don't scrap this completely and start over again, of course.
Nice and creepy. I think the tree on the right looks a little disconnected. When I look at the ones on the left there is a consistency to their bases that is not matched on the right. (Are comments like this even helpful?)
There are some nice swampy looking places along rt 27 going toward Mike's. Butter Brook in particular has the flooded forest look going on.
This is probably more of a pond than a swamp but from certain angles it's pretty cool. Especially with the tilted damaged sign that isn't pictured here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/octophobic/93824794/ This is right down the street from Great Brook Farm in Carlisle. :)
This far from the end of a piece, comments are tricky - if you happen to comment on something that I was planning to change anyway, then obviously they're less useful. On other hand, it's always possible you'll catch something that I didn't notice or was going to leave in.
As to the trees on the right, I'm currently working on some exposed roots and whatnot for them, and the tree furthest to the right has been replaced by a whole new tree. Hopefully they'll both look like they're atached to the ground when I'm done.
Thanks for taking some swamp photos. Regardless of whether or not they end up helping with this picture, I'm sure it will be handy to have them for future pieces.
