This being our 16th anniversary, I felt it was fitting to post a image of my lovely bride amidst a lovely sunrise. We were above Montgomery reservoir, near Alma Colorado. The falls are melting ice/snow from the Continental Divide. It is remarkable to have this strong of a flow in July.
Please notice the small pools (middle and bottom right) reflecting the sky.
Let us know what you think.

Thanks for viewing,
Jim and Chrisie Jackson

What a wonderful take on a great place. That water is really flowing!

Great light and color Jim! I especially like your comp, as well as the reflections off the water that you mention.

Beautiful scene, Jim. I would prefer to pull just a tad more detail out of the tree line just across the stream. You could probably get enough detail in just another RAW of the same shot.

Thank you Tom, Eva, and Bill for your encouraging comments.

Mark, thank you for the great suggestion, I do see that i lost shadow detail in the trees.
