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!

That's +AM2 +R3 +A0.1 for a 5 hour render. Next time I'll just render it
double
size and let psp resize sort things out.

It's inspired by one of the earlier swamp cards. I never played, but one of
my
friends did

Thanks, I'll adjust some of the scales.

It's actually midday, not that you'd know it by the light. Time has very
little
meaning here. Little changes from one day to the next

It wasn't based on the LotR movie, but now that I think back to the movie,
it's
ver similar

I've got a scene in mind based on a similar idea. An enchanted lake in a
faerie
forest. Beneath the surface sleep the heros of days gone by, waiting for the
time they are needed again.

Maybe, maybe not...

There's fog already, just nothing far enough away to be 'ghosted'
I'm considering another layer of fog, very turbulent and very close to the
ground

Oohhh, I like that.

Never let reality get in the way of a good picture *grin*
I certainly didn't intend this as a cold swamp.
