North St Vrain Creek, Wild Basin
I went to Wild Basin and snowshoed in with Rod Chandler. We got there just after sunrise and shot a bunch at the creek.
I've included a shot of an American Dipper and some ice and water images.

All were shot using my D200 and a 70-200 on a tripod.
Thanks for looking,
Dave

I love dippers! Nice capture! The golden gleam on the rock in #3 is lovely, but the photomerged ice is looking pretty flat to me.

Nice catch of the Dipper taking a dip, I really like the golden hues in #3, but the ice does have a greyish tone to it!.
How is the main trail up there, are snowshoes still needed or are hiking boots good enough to get to the Cascades area?.

David, it was great to have lunch with you the other day. I particularly like this third shot and your re-do is much better! :toast:

I like 1 and 3. The ice in 3 is distracting to me, but the colors and texture of the water are just great.
