Golden light on Cypress Trees | Limited Edition of 10
Golden Sunset over Cypress Trees - A Fine Art Print by Dan Kosmayer
As I stood on the swamp's edge, I was enraptured by the sight of the Bald Cypress trees. There they stood, pillars of nature, basking in the warm rays of a late sunset. Their majesty was highlighted by the brilliant golden color that danced on their leaves, a tribute to the warmth of the evening. With its twisted trunk and gnarled branches, each tree appeared as a silhouette against the flaming sky, each cloaked in a delicate veil of Spanish moss. This added depth and texture to the scene, enhancing the visual spectacle.
The scene was mirrored perfectly in the still water of the swamp, adding tranquility to the image. The reflection created a mesmerizing symmetry, the golden trees above and below, bound by the water's calm surface. This photograph encapsulates the beauty of nature and the artistry that can be found in everyday moments.
This photograph was taken in the Great Cypress Swamp, one of the northernmost Bald Cypress swamps on the Delmarva Peninsula in southern Delaware and southeastern Maryland, United States. It is the largest contiguous forest on the Delmarva Peninsula and covers about 50 square miles, mostly in southern Sussex County, Delaware. The swamp is a significant source of the Pocomoke River, which flows south, and Pepper Creek, which flows northeast. The prominent Bald Cypress trees in the photograph are common to swamps in the southeastern United States.
The swamp has a rich history. It was once a significant source of cypress timber. However, overharvesting and a disastrous peat fire in 1930 destroyed much of its vegetation. Today, the swamp is managed by the non-profit organization Delaware Wild Lands, which has been working to replant bald cypress trees. The swamp is also home to 73 breeding species of birds, making it a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers.
This fine art print, showcasing the serene beauty of a cypress swamp at sunset, is printed on acid-free 100% cotton paper with a velvety, subtly textured, warm-tone finish. This ensures the photograph's sharp precision, smooth transitions, deep blacks, intricate details, and vibrant hues are beautifully rendered.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
