A patch of rapids
The sun had set behind the high ridge in the Icicle Gorge called The Sleeping Lady, but a patch of cloud floating just above was receiving strong illumination and reflecting into the canyon bottom, casting a cold glow. I was hopping around in the house-sized boulders just above the Snow Creek intersection with the main river and found this - a huge, tilted granite slab with the entire river rushing over it's top. Tripod positioning was rather limited here, with the boulders being so large, wet and stances kinda scary.

Sony R1, .5 sec @ f/16, 24mm focal length.

Very nice like the contrast and the details of the water.
