Muddy Waters

Gallery: LandscapePosted September 30, 2014224 views7 comments

Recent rains have left the normally dry Little Colorado River to carry its muddy payload. The last of the sunlight hits the edge of the falls to give it a nice red cast. As always, critique is welcome.

Very nice! Always nice to see a fresh perspective on Grand Falls. Killer light, too. Do you have anything zoomed in even closer? Only critique: There is a dust speck near the ULHC that you may want to fix.

Very cool abstract. The color is terrific.
i might lighten up the left edge just a tad where there is a hint of whitewater.

Thanks for the feedback Dan and Joel. I did not see the oil spot until you pointed it out. Tis a new one as I just cleaned that D600 self-oiling sensor.

Beautiful shot Doug, I especially like the color and how there's actually good detail in the blur.

Doug it was definitely the right choice of image. I particularly like the contrast between the creamy light foreground and the redder water in the background.

I wish I'd gone there myself.

Nice abstract-looking image, Doug. The light is amazing. You did a nice job on this one.

LOVE this shot Doug. Really nice exposure and texture, and beautifully captured light. I might look at a little bump in shadow in the bottom left. Besides that, nice as is. Doesn't look muddy as much as it looks kinda like lava
