An Oasis of sorts in Arizona.

This is from a park in Sun City, Arizona, near my Mom's house.
I finally got smart after trying to shoot this waterfall a number of times in the past, and chose a much later time of day so I could slow down the shutter speed. (F11.0 is my max)

This was one of about 100 shots taken that day, and was able to do this without a tripod (1/3sec) by bracing against a railing.

The only thing that would be better than looking at this would be to be there in person. Nice work.

This is really beautiful. I'm glad that you didn't feel the need to try and capture the whole scene, but focused in more on this one area. It just has wonderful movement, and great colors and lines. That particular location is well balanced for your composition as well. Going into my favs! :)

It also helps to NOT have a mirror to slap around inside the camera!

As for the photo itself, I really like the warm feel and the diffused effect your processing gives it (or was that just camera shake induced blur :P).

Hehehehe... I'm glad I didn't submit mine to the free study then :).

Almost hypnotic and quite a place to meditate or simply down some beer and look. Congratulations on your top 10. This should have been a top 5.

A true testament to your ability to make something plain, something really special. I gave this a 9 and I am usually not a fan of rocks and water. Great work.

Lovely image taken with just the right shutter speed should finish high up.

I simply love your title. You added another dimension of the senses by how you named this. Now I can hear as well as see it. It's also a lovely scene and you did a great job of catching the water as it bounced on the rocks.

Great use of long exposure. I think a little more saturation ould have added to the pic.

Very effective composition and feel. Border takes away power of photo though. Gorgeous colours.

Makes me want to go jump in the shower.. beautiful.

Top finisher, no doubt. Fantastic! There was a forum thread that asked about capturing "sound" in an image - this one is a good example to me - I can hear the water. Great Job!

...coming back to add: When I look at this image in the thumbnail view, it looks like a woman in a white dress sitting down looking over her left shoulder and holding something in her arms.

This might have just been a good photo, but somehow you captured a lot of little colors all around the picture to make this almost seem like a fairy tale. Love it. 9

  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/19/2005 09:28:07 AM
Nice, but IMHO it lacks a focus point and general sharpness to the whole shot, my eyes wander all over the frame. Still a 6 in my books though.

Beautiful composition and lighting, love it!
