Crash

One from a few years ago. I posted a couple different comps with different water, light and color. This one escaped me for some reason and while printing a 20x30 of a different image from the same outing, I found this and had to process it. Since I haven't been shooting at all recently, anything is better than nothing.

What I like about this one versus the others is the way the light and water bounce off the rocks and also the neat little sunstar reflections on some of the wet rocks.

Canon 5D2, 90mm TS-E.

Even though it's water, it looks like hundreds of beams of light cascading down on the rocks. Maybe sometime you could post it in the 1200 larger version. Lovely composition!

Starburst reflections really make this image. I enjoy the glossy wet look of the rocks and the composition of water "cascading" down on the rocks.

This pops Jimmy! Perfect moment captured. Might crop/clone the right top dark spot to keep the top more uniform. Lovely shot.

Amazing, Jimmy. The flowing specular light is unreal good and I love the outstanding details and color and light on the rocks. Hope you print 20x30 of this one too.
