High Water overflow-with repost
This collapsed cave/mine opening flows very rarely. In 10 years I've only seen it do this 3 times, twice in the last 2 weeks.

BTW this forum has so many good photographers it's sometimes hard to just keep up with what's posted, much less catch an image I feel is worthy of being posted here. Thanks for letting me hang out with you folks, I learn a lot here.

Canon 400d Sigma 17-70 f2.8 lens, F10, 2.8 sec. with polarizer.

It's always interesting when there has been a lot of water - good to see you posting!

Bruce, I like the composition you've chosen, and how you used the branches to frame to distinct features in the image. I am a little troubled with the color cast, especially in the water. I'd say a good white balance adjustment would do wonders for this image.

That's pretty good water flow for something that rarely flows at all. A neat little scene with an "in your face" presentation. I agree with Dominic on the color cast of the water. Thanks for posting!

See you in a few weeks Bruce. :wavey:

Nice find, Bruce. I too think the composition is good, but the blue cast is quite noticable on my monitor too. Thanks for posting!

Bruce, I think we've had about 12" of rain in Fort Smith in March and I know some areas got a lot more. This may run for some time if the rains keep up.

Sorry bout the blue thing. My wife had already pointed that out, I had agreed and altered the processing on the other shots. However when I picked which one to post I chose the composition of the first shot and completely forgot the color cast. Here's one with a lot less blue.

Bruce a neat waterfall shot. The plants are nice and green in it also I like that.

Much better without the color cast.
