Play Misty for Me

Today was a wonderful day for hiking at Silver Creek Park, but it was too sunny for photographing waterfalls and woodlands. I therefore enjoyed the hike, and tried to do some more abstract close-ups.

D200, 1/4 sec @ f/8, 18-200mm @ 120mm.

Coulpe things here...might as well convert to bw since it is close anyway...then cropping off the left side to make it square helps some...but I really like the exposure of the water here.

I like it! great detail..

I'm interested because I can't see it all. Even though it's close to Black and White, I still like the color since it keeps me wondering also.

It's interesting as an abstract, Richard. Hopefully you won't mind me messing with your image, but I tried it as a B/W, and it does give you a lot more latitude to bring out detail in the rock, but it also led to a pretty harsh image. So I adusted as a duotone to bring back the blues from your original image, while retaining some of the rock detail (adjusting highlights and shadows). I normally only use the duotone conversion to create sepias, but I've used it a couple of times on frozen waterfall images (as an alternative to strict B/W).

Of course, this might look crappy to you..!

I like it. Thanks.

Actually, Tom's version looks pretty nice.

I worked on this a little more--do you like this version better?

I myself prefer the first reworked version better. I don't know if it's a wall hanger but it is nice.
