SR Reflections

This was taken a couple summers ago at Smith Rock. As most hikers and climbers were leaving for the day I was just getting my hike started. I almost passed this one by, but turned around just before turning the corner. I was in a heavy shadow so I personally did not want to lighten it up much more than I did, yet I am curious to know if I am the only one that thinks this way on it.

Thanks for dropping by to take a look. As always all comments appreciated!

I've been there a lot when it's like this. I like it, maybe a bit of CW rotation is needed though.

Rotate, and lighten the shadows around the grasses some, and this is a sweet shot! Well, more sweet than it already is/was...you know what I mean

Mark: The reflection is stunning and I love the silhouette of the grass seed heads.

May I ask a question: What is CW rotation?

Thanks to all that have left comments so far. Mark, good job noticing the tilt. I did not even see it until now and this is one I have already sold to clients! Oh well. I must have a little tilt in me or something.

And I will try bringing up the FG a little more as well.

Marc, CW stands for Clockwise roation.

I think the areas of deep shadow help to make a frame of sorts that takes the eye right to the pinnacle in top center. (Smith Rock? I've never been there...) Colors look rich and the scene is quite inviting. I like it, Adrian.

Ditto on the rotation and shadows, but great image Adrian.
