Warm Springs
After seeing the tremendous images by Bill & Tom I thought I'd add my humble CO shot of a warm springs that flows near Fairplay, CO. I'm not sure the web presentation will reveal all the detail that is present but you can get a sense of the place. Thanks for looking.

28mm, 1.0 @ f/16, ISO 100, FF

Very nicely done Wayne. I really like the way this shot leads you right in. I'd like to see this printed big.

Wayne, great take on the spring. As Scott pointed out the leading lines of the spring lead you through the scene.

Thanks for the nice compliment, Wayne. I wish you would have had time to make the jump down to the Ouray area - the difference in the wildflower display was significant.

This is a beautiful scene you captured, with plenty of nice details in the foreground. You nailed the composition, with the stream leading the viewer through the frame to the aspens at the top. Beautiful.

peaceful, Wayne, and I agree with the others about how the spring draws you into the picture

Perfect placement of the spring to pull you into the scene. The verdant greens are very calming. I can almost hear the water rushing :wink:

Wayne,
I like the water. I think too many make it too fluid. I can still see the rocks but there is a sense of motion, too. That's what I like.
Thanks for sharing.
