Interesting image, it made me think. My first impression was that it was posted sideways. I had to look at it for a moment to understand what was going on. I like being challenged now and then. Thanks for posting this.

It is indeed sideways, and is intended as a visual puzzle (as well as having some graphic merit in its own right)

OK, now I'm doubly confused. :smile: After looking at the image I decided the right side was a waterfall. It's not?

Rocks on the top, water underneath. Remains of a wave are draining out past a very interesting rock. Works quite well in the proper orientation, but is more demanding of a second look this way (I think

Hi Steph...perfect image ...or I would say the perfect image to my liking. This kind of a close crop of rock and water was what I am on these days ..and you have done a great job by doing it parallel... I was working on the diogonal..

Well Done

Very interesting perspective with excellent contrasts and lighting. Shutter speed was perfect. I wouldn't even attempt f/32 on that lens though - blending for depth of field is far more successful if needed for depth. Sharpness suffers a lot at that aperture in big prints.
