This is Hamilton's Pool just about 15 miles NW of Austin -- about an hour from where we live in San Antonio. My hubby and I love to go up there and walk around that cave -- take pictures of course -- and then hike this trail up to a river a couple of miles or so away.

This is lovely - great how the "main attraction" of the shot is so understated - just off in the corner, minding it's own business. Fantastic detail and texture in the upper rock face.

totally lost you in the b&w thread sandy so i've come to your portfolio to see wot you've been doing ...
awesome as usual ... i especially like that white area just above the waterfall and the patterns on the rocks .. the waterfall itself gives an excellent vertical contrast ... :)

I love this shot...and yearn for the day that I can get one as good as it.

I do agree with the comment regarding the contrast on the upper right hand side and in an ideal world maybe a tad sharper reflection, but the bottom line is, if this was in a challenge I would be giving it 9

Awesome

Beautifully captured - love the composition and details. The only part that doesnt seem quite right is the cliffs in the upper right hand corner - the contrast is lacking there

Very interesting little place you found here. You have nice tonal range, but I find the left side of the image distracting because for me there is not enough interest. Also, I personally don't care for the watter effect, it looks really strange.

Black and white suits this very well!

This is very pretty. I love the reflections. What really catches my eye tho is what the water is doing at the end of the fall. It looks like it is soft and misty... quite the contrast from the sharpness of the rest of the pic. Interesting!

I would love to visit here. If I ever make it back that direction, I'll have to call and get directions. Great details.

I'd love to sit on a rock and dangle my feet - listen to the fall of water - very nice!

Gee, the nicest gal on DPC found the prettiest little pool in Texas! Sandy, this is lovely, perfectly peaceful, and very refreshing. Wow!

Once again a beautiful job. You have lots of great subject matter for shooting. A very dreamy, peaceful photo. Great lighting and a very nice B&W conversion.

Great shot and terrific lighting. I really like the graceful line in this picture ending in the waterfall.

This is truly beautiful, and the b/w really adds impact for such a vast image. I also really like how you captured the water.

Looks like a perfect spot to spend a hot summer's day. What's really amazing with the series of photos that you have shared with us is this place never seems to be packed with people. The B&W conversion of this looks really cool Sandy. Very nice!

Sandy the waterfall is SO beautiful - and the strong evidence of texture on the roof of the rocks - lovely.

This looks very relaxing. I wish I had something like that around here.

Awesome image again from you my dear friend. Like you, I love to be so much closer to you, so that I could visit these areas. Maybe not as I don't think I could manage this type pf walk. I will have to make do with these wonderful images that you have taken, as they are just wonderful.

What a cool place! great shot the water looks almost magical in the falls! Very nice!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Love the line of the falls!!!!!!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/01/2007 09:45:11 PM
This is very cool - I have loved your series of photos on this spot. Looks very refreshing. The long exposure works well to bring out the ribbons of water in the falls.

Oh man I can just see being there on a hot summer day.

Beautiful Sandy.
