The Glory Hole

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted October 22, 2017209 views8 comments

f/8, 1/30 sec., ISO 1600, 18mm.
This is a small waterfall known as the "Glory Hole" The water from a creek has worn a hole in the rock where it flows through and continues the creek on a lower level. Not much water was flowing there the day we made the hike. I would like to go back in the winter and see it frozen.
As always, comments and critiques are appreciated.

Holy water hole, this is beautiful, the rock formation with the copper colors and then the bright silver flow of water have a metallic feel. Yes seeing it frozen would certainly be another great visual. Great photo Marjie!

Marjie, the glowing colors in the rocks surrounding the glory hole look great. You've got enough water flowing to make it clear what's going on. Looks like a neat place to visit and revisit.

Awesome, and a good abstract piece with all the action, colors, and diagnonals. Well seen.

Marjie, is this the Glory Hole in Arkansas? I photographed a young girl getting drenched underneath it once, a photo I posted previously on NPN.

Hi Marjie,

This is a nice abstract image and presents an interesting composition. I would not change a thing about this image and like it as presented. Well done......................Jim

Cool image Marjie. I really like the golden area that appears to be reflected light from the waters below. Colors lighting and composition are great.

Unique capture, with wonderful colors and a good shutter speed for the water coming through. I like the comp very much. Where is this waterfall located?
