This was taken after a slight dusting of snow a few months back on one of my many wonderings along a local creek. The white on the rock is the only indication left of the snow. Thank goodness I have some time every so often to go through some of my unworked shots, sometimes I find something decent.
As I've said before, working for a living sure gets in the way of my photography!

Canon EF70-200 f/4L @ 70mm (w/extension tube)

Nice shot, and yea that work can really be a pain sometimes.

lots of color and shapes, looks good Brad, I agree it is a shame we have to work

I'm surprised at the detail you can maintain at f/22, I did a test this weekend shooting f/11 f/16 f/22 f/32 and the level of softness really spiked at f/22 and above, with f/16 definitely softer than f/11

A real nice grouping of elements Brad, visually pleasing. Did you use a polarizer to reduce the glare?

I like this. It has just enough elements to make it natural and simple.

Hi Wayne, to answer your question, nope no polarizer was used in the making of this image.
Thanks everyone for the comments.

Well in that case Brad, this is an even more impressive exposure and wonderful control of saturation. Well done.
