Liquid Caulk (+ crop)

I like this alot - processing looks great. You may want to play with sharpening up the rocks on both sides... though the detail may have suffered from compression.

The composition is really compelling and there are a lot of cool lines going on here. A slightly higher angle may have provided undisrupted views of the flowing water - but I'm not sure that would be better, just... different.

Hi Bill, This is quite nice and I enjoy what you did here. Looks like a pretty neat place to explore too. I would also like to see how this looks without the tree trunks on the right side, just a thought. Nice work.

Thanks guys, I like it. I spelled it incorrectly which as a writer/editor for over 20 years bothered me as I posted it, then had to leave for the day and thought about it all day!

Bill,

Certainly looks like a fascinating spot along the river. I too think the stone is very cool and the channel of water actually reminds of "the crack" in Zion that we see frequently...

The only thing I'm torn about is the tree trunks. I can't decide if it's a case of wanting more, or none at all - or is there just enough included. You've got some space to the right which is good and I like the notion that these trunks are overhanging a bit - and it leads me to wanting to see more perhaps. In any case, I'm just not sure the trunks are adding to the portrayal of the water cutting through the stone.

There were a lot of options here in shooting and processing Lon, agreed. I did both, this is the first post. I just liked the tree and the bend in the trunks, like a pose. And how the water flowed out from out between the bend. See what I mean or no??

I also thought about cropping them right out. But for now, I left it. Thanks for the feedback.

I like the comp and light w/o the trunks on the right. The abstract quality with the crop is quite appealing, I think.

Just one of the crops I thought about before posting the original. Thanks!

The cropped version IMO is much better, a tighter intimate composition. Very nice work Bill, this really appeals to me.

thanks again Kah Kit, who am I to argue!! lol. I need some new abstracts for an upcoming exhibit, I think this will be one that I print up.

Really like the rocks and that line of the stream coursing across the image. I would try a crop on the right hand side, just to the left of those tree trunks so that you retain that nice cascade in the upper right hand corner as well as those nice, darker, wet rocks just below that cascade. Nicely done.
