Meltwater, Wolf Creek Falls, MN

Nothing spectacular here...just figured I'd post something recent, rather than months behind for once.

It was an absolutely beautiful day, so I broke away from school obligations to get out in the woods for awhile. Thursday night and Friday dumped a large amount of snow on Central Minnesota. Thankfully, the warmer temps have already begun to melt it. As a result, this waterfall was moving particularly well, showcasing more water spouts than usual. I used my Dslr with a longer lens than I have available on my 4x5 to make this image (I would have needed a lens in the 400mm range on the 4x5 ). 3 horizontal frames were combined in PS to increase the resolution, I would guess that the results will look great at 11x14 and still very good at 16x20.

Love the details you caught here, Joel..from the water pouring down to the splashes and movement in the water below. The enlargement should be fantastic!!

Beautiful. That is a wonderful place during the spring melt. I'm hoping to get there soon.

Beautiful image Joel, you should skip school more often this turned out nice, very nice abstract feel to it.

School is over-rated. Get out and shoot! Really nice abstract, Joel.

Nice one Joel! CJ

Nice waterfall shot. I’m surprised they still aren’t frozen given the weather we had last week. I like the detail of the water running down the face of the falls. I would have thought the water would be brown this time of year.

Nice intimate quasi-abstract, Joel.

Thanks folks...for the record, I didn't skip school. Rather, I just put off some homework; nothing like a bit of procrastination.
