Date Uploaded: May 26, 2007

 Taken on Jennings Creek in the Jefferson National Forest at Arcadia, VA. I liked the "closer up" view to show the "elemental" force of the water and the fact that life springs eternal from it (example, the moss on the rocks under such extreme circumstances).

Hope you like it - I do.

PP included: levels/curves, selective color, color sat, contrast, sponge brush, dodge/burn, clone brush to remove sensor dust & debris, resize for Web, sharpen, save.
