MIllion Dollar Creek
There was road construction going up to Red Mountain Pass from Ouray on the Million Dollar Highway, so I pulled off to let the pack of motorhomes get far ahead. Looking down into Red Mountain Creek, I liked the s-curve and the orangish color of the water and rock.

Boy, you sure made this scene look pretty! Nice even light and a slower shutter speed helped. Nice composition as well.

It's an interesting shot but doesn't do much for me. Maybe B&W?

I think what I was trying to say is that, considering how the scene appears to the human eye, I think the results above are impressive. Almost false advertising compared to the actual view I remember!
