5DMK2, 70-200L @ 188mmm, f16 @ 6.0, ISO 100, CPL, Tripod.From Raw file.First time I used live view to focus, amazing, reminds me a lot of a 4x5 focusing screen, but not upside down. When I got home and put this on my computer, I noticed that the rock looks like a moosehead or camelhead which ever you prefer. Original is a lot sharper. Thanks for looking.

Thought this was a Lon Overacker image when it first opened. Very nice intimate image with a good comp and light.

Danny,

This is just delicate and beautiful. I see the camel head now - almost wish I hadn't - cause he's facing the wrong way!

I'm not quite sure yet if this would be better, but do you have any room up top? At first I was thinking the rock and plants would be great as the central piece to a square format, but then I don't want to lose the nice flow of water on the right. So that leads me to wanting a skosh more up top just so the plants have room to grow - or something. But that's just me thinking out loud. I really like this as is and think you've found and captured a gem.

Lon

Nice scene Danny, and one most people would have walked by. I really like these "real" nature scenes as much or more as the icon images. In this instance, I do have a couple of nits though - one, I wish the tops of the rocks had been included and, two, I wish a faster shutter speed (1/2 sec - 1 sec) had been used to give the water more texture. Small nits, and still a very enjoyable image.

Hi Danny,
This is a miniature landscape that I really like. It has a very nice Japanese touch.
Very unique and very beautiful.
