And an idea that came to mind a week or so ago.
I'm going to put a little lizard on the branch in the foreground. Other than
that,
I'm not sure what to do with this
Comments, suggestions?

Very nice! It is exactly as you describe.
Something that I always think about is the background. Perhaps this could
use a few more distant trees, barely visible in the fog to fill out the
background. Just a thought... It looks very good as it is.

Reminds me of certain Magic cards.. players will remember the swamps. :D
IMO it could use "more".. a few more trees in the background as someone
suggested, more plant life, more variety in the plant life. Maybe do
some research and get some ideas of what stuff you find in a swamp?
However, it looks pretty good as-is.

I like it very much! Nice selection of colours (or lack of colours). Has the
right mood! Somehow it's simple - though I know it isn't simple. :o)
Thumbs up for photorealism. If this image isn't a slow-render, then maybe
you will render it with better anti-alias next time? Then the branches won't
look disjointed / broken.
Best Regards,
Hugo

Rather impressive, that...
I'm listening to the Lord of the Rings soundtrack right now, and this
looks like it could have been part of that movie. Hardly looks CG at all.

I love it!
It has a so sorrow mood
A few things I'd feel improvable: reeds are a bit too regular in size IMHO.
water waves should be smaller and shorter on swamps this size: wind needs
some distance to build such a wave length.
but I love the darkness of this scene: we don't know what hour it is. Day is
a long long gray laps of time... a scary night might fall at once.

Wow! Awesome. A little more contrast would add some interest.

Somebody else mentioned Lord of the Rings, but I know which part this is
from: it's when Frodo, Sam and Gollum are passing over the swamp, and
floating below the water's surface are ghastly apparitions of the long
deceased. Their pale faces staring blankly up to the surface.... I've
been thinking for some time the idea must be rendered in POV somehow.
Maybe that's what the scene needs.... a few corpses :)

Beautiful! As one that's fascinated by swamps, this is one of the best
representations I've seen. The only comment, and purely my own, a thin
ground haze, not enough to obscure the horizon, but to make the distant
objects "ghosted".
Swamps are places of incredible life, rather than areas of decay.

So many comments already, that I am afraid to repeat. Great image with
excellent atmosphere. In the far background I would place the silhouette of
a forest. Swamps are often restricted in size (at least the deep parts), and
surrounded by forested highs. A little ground fog, also. A lone bird
(falcon) in the sky could increase dramatic effect. A lizard? This looks
like a rather cold swamp to me! Too cold for a (cold blooded) lizard.
The scene reminds me of very similar sites in the northern Netherlands where
I lived for a time. In winter, they had this same strangely forlorn look.
Well done!
Thomas
