(by the way, I know it's a little "spotty", I don't think all of the pixels exposed correctly from lack of light.)

OMG this is so cool. Do you mind if I fool around in Photoshop a little to try to minimize the grain?

As it is, it's practically direct off the camera. I thought the blue tint was just too cool to lose. :)
Only difference is that I dropped the file size from the original ~1.2meg. I didn't try to fix the graininess, well, basically, I haven't had the time. But if you want to try, feel free.
As for where it is, you'd never know, (yes, it's that small of a town) but it's in a fairly rural area near Albany, NY. (Closer to the NY/MA/VT Border)
Lacking a tripod, I had to brace the camera on a tree to keep from shaking during the exposure.
Thanks for the comments!

Nice..I'm glad to see you used the trees as a natural border to "emcompass" or package the view into the swamp....Great eye!

Hehe, funny you mention that, Keith. I was down there tonight taking photos in the dark, and just as I was about to finish up, something large started splashing around in the water. Needless to say, in the dark, alone, I left in a hurry. Thinking back, it was probably something small like a beaver, but when you can't see more than a few feet, that adrenaline takes over... :)

I really like this image. It's dark, errie and mysterious. Great capture, nice framing. I think it makes a perfect desktop. Not too dark at all, it's just right. 10/10 favs.
