Stream shots

I was hiking along a stream on Monday afternoon and took these.

Don....

Lovely shots.

All are very good. For me, the last image is one that you can look at for a while and just that....look into the water. The image conveys movement and calm at the same time. The colors are great, I can almost feel the coolness of the water.

Nice set of images!

Thanks very much, Gato. It was very therapeutic to be there.

Love the first. The others are just mesmerizingly wonderful. I had to stare at the last shot for a while to figure it out, and I'm still not sure all of what I'm seeing.

Good work, Don. I find it hard to make a shot like #1 interesting but you have accomplished that fete here. The shots with the river rocks strike a real chord with me. I have a friend in the mountains that has collected literally thousands of river rocks and has positioned them as artistic features all over her property. I caught the bug from her and I now have a couple of hundred of the things strewn around my landscaping at home.

David, Tom, thanks very much. I found myself really drawn to the reflections on the moving water and trying to capture both reflections and submerged rocks, as in the last two. That required judicious use of a polarizer.
