December 4th, 2009 at 2:06 amI’ve been there with my wife. It is a really great place for a photographer. Funny thing is that I’m sitting in a hotel just 20 minutes away from the plantation on a business trip. You did it justice! You captured the true beauty of the place. Makes me want to find the time tomorrow and drive by.

December 4th, 2009 at 2:35 amWow, did the trees talk to you as you wandered around? They look like huge giants embracing the mansion like a fortress, and I bet if they could talk they would have quite a story. Can you imagine how the wind sounds rushing through there!!! How beautiful a picture. You have a great eye Steve, thank you for sharing.

December 4th, 2009 at 7:57 amAs many have said before me “Amazing trees”
Is this HDR or mearger of two exposures?Apart from the management of light/Luminosity I also like the simple two color scheme of the image.
