Yes monotony ... as in Sqornshellous Zeta marshes
If you didn't do yet, read chapter 7 of Douglas Adams' "Life, Universe and
Everything", do it (and read the whole 5 novels) :-)

You are perfectly right! A lizard it should be then!

Very strong image. Really one of your best imo. I would caution you to
be careful about adding animal life. It has some good possibilities to
do so but to do so would take the picture down a narrative path when
there is a lot to be appreciated about it in a design sense. The
ambivalent narrative meaning is not necessarily a bad thing. And some
of the things I already like about the picture include: The low
saturatioin of even monochrome suggesting either psychological dispair
or ecological disaster, the subtly expressive effect of the water
surface, the way the eye is teased by the minute information available
along the horizon line, the strangeness of the non-bifurcated branch in
the forground and how it grazes the the water surface. I think much of
the picture's appeal comes from its minimalism. Perhaps that is a
direction you could explore.

Well, I'll try one and see how it looks. I actually didn't even thing about
the
weather.
Sometimes I need a good klap of common sense.

Putting things back in perspective! Excellent suggestion! I agree with that!

I love it; to me there's a sense of stillness about it*, IMHO adding a
lizard would take that away; maybe making the branch into a full blown
fallen-over dead tree would add more to the foreground? I look forward to
seeing the version with the ground fog in any case.

Looks like Delaware.
Right along I-95 heading south from Wilmington, on the right, about 7PM
tonight.
Unlikely to find a lizard, though. Big ol' frogs going chuggarum, and
thousands of spring peepers, these little frogs that fill the evenings
with a peeping chorus.
You do great water! A while back you posted some code at my request and
it's been very helpful.
Thanks for the great work.
