Very pretty--engaging composition. Just curious, but did you try one photo with a longer shutter speed to blur the water?

The boiling foreground water, the side light on the rocks and the mist rising off the water and partially obscuring the background trees make for a very nice composition. Good work!

Jack, your blending of warm/cold and hard/soft elements is excellent.

Excellent job of combining a great subject in great light!

I can feel the river's power and chill from here! The jutting rocks standing so formidable against the onrushing currentterrific.

I am also curious, DID you get a shot with silky, blurred out water? That sure would change the feel of this shot.

Edward and Jim, spurred by your question I dug and retrieved the sheets from this shoot and, alas, there are no comparable shots with longer shutter speeds. Now that my memory has been jogged, I recall that I had only about 30-60 seconds of the light I wanted and I used all of that with composition/framing variations and none with exposure variations. Sorry...

This is the type of shot I love. Lots of things going on with depth, light and composition; makes me want to look again. I usually shoot this sort of things at slower shutter speeds, but I think this works well because the chop in the water mirrors the rugged rocks.
