A recent monsoon left a rare treat: nearly every cavity turned into a rain pool, thus providing us with a fine opportunity for getting some reflections captured.

    A well done series, for sure.thumb.gif If I had to pick a favorite, it would be #6. I haven't spent much time in that type environment. Good work like this gives me a solid feel for what it's like.

    Take care,

    Tom
    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Wonderful images - #6 being my favorite

    *Might be my monitor but I find these images a fraction too dark!

    Re: dark. Can't say. I typically operate by histogram/clipping info, but do fine tuning by "eye". ne_nau.gif

    Yeah, that's my lament. I've been there two times, yet each time only overnight with a late arrival and early take off. Never had time to "stand and stare"... ne_nau.gif

    All good -- #5 and #6 are my favorites. I also think #2 is pretty cool. That weird rock formation in the middle looks like a grinning mouth.
