Very creative picture Ian, the composition is really unusual and though-provoking. The light is wonderful and so are the colours. I love it

PS there is still room for a "drink Coca-Cola" line in your post, if you wish... - sorry, but I couldn't resist!

Ian,
What unique and creative image! The lines of the image just keep my eye glued to it and bouncing around all the while enjoying the glowing red wall. Great image, your persistence certainly did pay off!

Ian, Not much I can say except awesome image. very beautiful. The water light & color are spectacular!!!!!!!

Lovely, Ian! That's rare to get a double falls.

Once again you live up to the Dreamscapes name. This is marvelous - great light and comp - you do this so well.

Though viewing the image via my iPhone here at cape Kiwanda I can see that this image rocks! lately I have been doing a lot of canyon scouting and I know to find water and sandstone in the same location is really special! Great job. Mark

Elegant, and beautiful, with gorgeous light, and color. Feels like it could be rotated a little clockwise???

So real sweet light and color in the center Ian. I like how the twin falls frames the image. Spectacular find!

I know this canyon well, Ian. Certainly a unique take on it. I like the light in the background.

Very kool dreamscape.

Very cool and unique image.

This is marvelous. The comp is not very usual but i love it. nice colors and good use of the available light. Great job

The comp and light are fantastic! Great angles, framing, depth...all good. My personal preference would be for a more neutral water color--i think it would look more natural to my eye--but i can understand the blue-orange/red combo is more appealing.

I think the dark shadows work really well here to give the feeling of being deep in a canyon. Really nice presentation.

Great story in your blog about your efforts to get this shot. Sometimes a llama must suffer for his art. I think this is another extension of your vision, and it is just superb!

What an eye to see this, Ian. I have a feeling it probably took a bit of development too. Looks great.

One of the more unique perspectives I've ever seen. Great capture and location! Fun getting in there I'm sure :)

Ian, this is a beautiful shot and I loved the story about how perserverence paid off. Also gave me a chance to explore your superb web page!

Phenomenal Ian. Incredibly unique image and simply phenomenal.

Magnificant light and color, Ian. The water is like shafts of light beaming down. A beautiful image.
I've just recieved my copy of the 'Ultimate Guide to Digital Nature Photography' I purchased from Amazon. Looking forward to reading it!

Sometimes beautiful places just aren't meant to cooperate with photographers. You're persistence here yielded an image that is at least unique and engaging. In the end, there's still something missing for me. Perhaps if I could get a little more of the feeling of looking out, see a little bit more of the water leaving around the bend, or see less of the contrasty area at the top I could get more out of this. Actually, I do like a significant crop from the top.

This is out of this world, I'm in awe. Congrats!

Wow Ian, this is a sweet photo. Very unique composition and I love the glowing wall in the back.

I'd like to go here....when is the next trip?
