That's a really cool shot you have here, I like it. I didn't know what the reference was but I guess the movie was set in Florida? Anyway, it's a great shot that stands on it's own.

Jim, thanks for your comment. The Highway Men is not a movie, but a handful of Afro Americans in the 50's in the south selling there paintings of Native Florida from the trunks of there cars. There paintings have been and still are sought out by collectors paying big $$$. A gentleman by the name of A. E Bacus was there art instructor.

There is now a museum named after him. There are lots of paintings like what I posted in that museum, painted by Bacus.

This shot was taken when I was first starting out in photography, hand held using a 7D and 17-55 or 11-16 Tokina, I would have to double check.

I'm not sure what it is...but it is too something for me. I really like the composition, but the processing gives me a feel of over the top.

Thanks Ipanematon & chez.

I was on a friends cattle ranch, it was the cattle's watering hole.

It's a beautiful composition, but too HDR'ish IMO.
Of course, that's only my opinion.
