I got out a little bit today to take a few images. Things are starting to really green up out here in the Gorge. This weekend was much drier than last!

Canon 1D Mark II
Canon EF 16-30L II
ISO-100
2 Seconds at f/a6
18mm focal length
Polarizer

wow nice composition Ned. It's good to see things are shaping up out in the gorge!

I DO like the comp... it feels just right, and makes it seem like I'm standing on one of the mossy rocks right there (in which case I'd slip into the stream!).

BTW Ned, your 16-30mm L... is that a custom-made lens from Canon? :biggrin:

Oh rats... nope... just fat fingered that... :rolleyes:

Another nice shot Ned. I like the rocks in the foreground as the moss sets of the tone for the rest of the image. The exposure (shutter speed) isn't bad either.

It's getting to be that time of year again, yeah! I love the combination of the moss (especially on those foreground rocks) and flowing stream, but would like just a tad more room between the water and the edge of the photo on the left.

I like the composition, diagonal water. I would like to see a little more texture in that water. I know this is difficult to do without too much post processing.

Nice little intimate scene, Ned. Love those greens!

Lovely comp, Ned. The greens are just luscious. Somehow the shadows seem a bit harsher here than in your last posts.
