I'm sometimes amazed at how little soil some plants need to take root. This azalea was growing out of almost solid bedrock.

Beautiful work, Bill. The center of interest falls at a one-third by one-third spot, where the azaleas stand out against the dark rock and shadow, and then there are paths the eye can follow to the other areas of exquisite detail in the image.
Judging from the rock, if I had to guess, I would say that you ended up going to your planned destination of Kings River falls.
Very nice, Bill. There are a lot of different spots for the eye to stop and enjoy... the interesting stone background, the dark band of rock above the stream, the mossy surface where the water flows, and of course the azaleas, the log, and the falls. Yet it's not busy. Thanks for sharing.
First of all, this is a beautiful scene. Having been to Arkansas a few times now, I'm amazed at how you're able to find these "clean" intimate landscapes. Everything comes together in this shot, the rock backdrop, azaleas, log & falls without being busy.
And second, I'd sure like to figure out how you get so much detail in your web images. Of course I know it starts with a perfect capture so maybe I'd better focus there first!
