I know, I visited the river a week too late for Rivers and Streams ;-) It was below freezing yesterday but one of those crystal clear winter days with a beautiful blue sky, so off I went on a hike. This was taken on the Maryland side of Great Falls, off to one side of the actual "great" falls part. Water was fast and furious so I blew out a bit of the whites.
I decided to keep the shadows on this (you can see me, Holly the IW, and an IW friend over in the corner). Makes it more personal.
Beautiful treatment of this. It's always hard to be objective though when you try to separate childhood memories from present critical judgement. Naw, it's still really good and I really like that cold, crisp winter light.
well, I have to agree with moondog, especially after what I went through earlier in the month to get apicture of Thaw & Flow..where's your commitment woman?? ha!!
NIce flow to this, literally, this water looks like it was movin' pretty good! I really love the shadows & the way you let the light direct you in this one, Mary
That is a pretty shot. I would guess that the fall is making quite a roar. I also like that you kept the shadow in the foreground. It looks like it would be tough walking along the rocky banks with all the brush and trees there. The big limb adds interest to the solid blue of the sky too.
