Canon 5D II, 17-40L, polarizer, tripod
f/16, 4 seconds, ISO 200

Lots of rain over the weekend down here, but I decided to get out and make the best of it. This one is from Bell Smith Springs, one of my favorite places.

Check out more from the trip on my newly minted blog:

You have some nice lines and shapes working here, Taylor. The colors, while they may be natural, appear to clash more than they work together (just my take, for what its worth...pennies at best). I'm wondering what a BW conversion would look like here? I do like the lines, though, and the unanswered question of what lies beyond and between the rocks.

Thanks Brian. I played around with BW but it felt like something was missing. I'm still pretty on the fence about this one, any more critiques are welcome

I noticed the WB was off on the original, here's an updated one.

very nice ....Taylor. By the look of the shear walls it must of been tough to get to
the that area.

Joe, this one is misleading.. it's really easy actually!
