Energy

Began this hike at 4:30 in the morning with Doug K to make it to this area before the sun crept over the canyon walls. I felt sleep deprived from the lack of sleep I had in the back of my car while camping nearby. I could barely remember getting to this spot, but once I hit the water, I was wide awake and the energy struck me like a mack truck. I've always had a fascination with this small crack in the canyon. This morning proved to be a fun lesson in mixing fire and water. Also, this crack is quite deceptive, it is much deeper than you would think! Comments and critiques appreciated. Large version included.

Nice flow in this image, the plant in the left side of the image is a tad distracting but nothing major. Nice work

Striking image with nice light. I like the repeating "V" shapes and the contrasting colors. Excellent image and well worth the effort.

Beautiful image Peter with nice tones and colors. The light in the backround is very nice and I like your comp. Very well done.

Real nice image. I especially like the warm and cool tones contrasting with the bright greens. Well worth the sleep deprivation.

Soft light, good comp, and the reflected orange off the water are nice.

This is a nice image. I love all the diffeent colors here. I like your comp and the light is also fine. The plant in the upper left is a little bit distracting to me.......but that's not a big deal.

Beautiful water, and so nicely framed by the rock walls and vegetation! A fine image for my tastes

Thanks everyone! I hadn't even noticed the plants in the upper left. I can see how it may be a bit distracting. Perhaps I'll re-shoot this with the camera pointed more left and have a diagonal flow of water.

Peter,

Excellent! Great color throughout and the composition is very strong. What strikes me the most is the scattering of the vibrant green vegetation. Most of the time in these parts of the country we see very little greenery - a nice treat here.
