I took this after I advised Rick that it wouldn't work!

Mark, this is really nice...

I love the contrast between the rocks, the flowers and the water...

Great spot of color and life amid all the elemental surrounds. Super comp. The yellow flowers are perfectly framed and really pop against the smooth whitewater. I'd say it's fair game to lead another photographer off course and then snake their shot.

Mark...ya big jerk! I'll never listen to you again! This is nice. I see some yellow tint in the water you might want to remove and I'd also red up the rocks in the water a little more.

is that a spider between the 2 bottom stems....I just spent 5 minutes trying to clean my monitor and realized that its in the photo.....if its a spider, great, if its a glob of something, you might want to clone it out!

Quite a perspective here, Mark. It's a great comp and just great to look at. Feels like you're right in there listening to the crash of the water while taking in the soft color of the flowers. The patch of green on the rocks is cool, too. Realy nice shot.

Thanks everyone.
Actually, Rick and I talked about this shot and I said I thought it was too windy. He moved down to work it and I thought, "what the helll, I'm just standing here, I might as well give it a try".
Darren, yes, it's a spider.

How's this, it seems a lot cleaner to me.
