Virgin River, Zion National Park, April, 2005
Canon 1DsII, 70-200 f/2.8L, 1/6 sec @ f/32.

I'm cleaning up my archives and came across this image from 2005. f/32 introduces a lot of diffraction, but I wanted the flow of the water blurred, so I decided the blur was worth the softness. The cliff walls were reflecting off the water and creating this wonderful, watercolor like reflection. I kept it somewhat muted on purpose...Hope you like it...

Here's a larger version.

David,
I think I remember this dhot or one like it. It does have a nice flow and color palet. I need to go through my archives and re-do some of my older images.
