Wildcat Park
I was out at Wildcat Park last night and stumbled into a beautiful sunset (finally!). It was good to be out behind the camera again and to see green starting to show up!

This was a 4 shot blend processed using Photomatix. I thought about cloning out the rusted piece of junk in the creek, but that was probably beyond my skills and it does add a touch of color. Not sure if I like my decision to include so much foreground either, but I was trying to get as much of the stream in the shot as possible.

Canon 40D, Canon 10-22 @ 10mm, ISO 400, f22, various shutter speeds.

Noticed that the horizon didn't seem quite right after posting, so I've corrected that.

Glad you made it out Scott. I actually like the rusty box thing in the water. Looks like a chunk of copper, the color goes with the scene actually very well. Maybe it is a treasure chest, did you check?

Keep getting out, the weather is changing and soon the shutters will be flying!

As always a great effort.
My monitor shows a slight rainbow effect on the backs of two tree trunks. these are located in the upper left quadrant. Lens flare. My monitor?

Gorgeous colors! Like the others, I think the rusty junk blends in well with the color scheme. Great work!

impressive color in the water and rusty junk, Scott.
