A bit of an attempt to capture the feel of the Everglades - just doesn't do it but the best of a bad bunch. Even this 20mm shot just doesn't give the scale of the big sky and grassy/swamp expanse. Comments always appreciated.

It's difficult to get really wide in this environment. Likely due to the flat topography. I have similar places like in your image around here.
I've tried elevating the camera by standing on top of the Jeep, or finding another spot with some height. That seems to help.

You are too critical. If I were to get all cliche on you, I would say maybe..... and it is a big maybe...

Drop the horizon down a tad, then, increase the temperature to give the golden heat view that we see on CSI miami... :)

Dont know if this is a load of twaddle... but it is a nice capture as it is...

Shadows interested me on this one. Hope you like it.

Loving the rigidity to the lines, shadows and grids, along with the contrasting shapes of the actual light frame as compared to its shadow.

[My usual caveat: I am only a neophyte in the photographic world, so take my suggestions as you see fit]
The only suggestion I could offer you would be to clone out or crop the image a bit tighter in, so that it loses the intrusions in the top left and down bottom on the right. If that was done, I have a feeling that it might need squaring up, so the lines are all square.
