Funny how the favorite shot of a session will sometimes be a quickly made exposure one hardly gives any thought to.

Sunday morning I was set up on the banks of the Wenatchee River, concentrating on subjects to the north. I briefly set up to take this (two exposure) picture then resumed fussing over my other subject, which yielded 40 or so mediocre shots.

Sony R1, 1/10 & .6 sec @ f/16. Tony Kuyper's luminosity masks, Marc Adamus' web sharpening technique.

I often have the same experience Marc. Glad you thought to grab a couple shots of this because it is quite a show. The cloud texture and lighting is superb.

Marc,
I'm not overly sold on the shot. The colors are nice and the shutter speed gives the water a nice texture. But..
That bright spot in the middle of the sky is a bit distracting. It almost looks blown. Also, I don't feel there is a main focal point that draws my interest. IMHO.
