Mangrove Still Life

Some photos seem to generate black and white opinions, either you love it or you hate it.  This is one of those.  I like it because it looks like a still life even though it obviously is a shot taken in it's natural setting with some great early morning light on a foggy day.  My wife doesn't like it because - it looks like a still life.  I've received other comments on it but nothing that falls into the middle ground.  It just occured to me that it's like this years presidential campaign.
