Granite Gorge, Sonora Pass Country

It was raining lightly, and thunder was booming off to my left when I set up for this photograph, so I had time for only a single exposure. The slight pink coloration was visible in the soft storm light and was very saturated. It would have been nice to "study" the possibilities here.

Thanks for looking, and I appreciate your comments.

The rocks have a real nice color and of course the slow shutter-speed water looks great !

Hi Preston!

I like rough feeling of the rocks softened a bit by that cascade and green vegetation in the background.

Good light

Preston,

This is very nice - I like the jumble of rocks. My second thought on this was/is that I would be very interested to see a B/W version as well.....

Great collection of elements tastefully arranged. My only thought is to maybe burn down the left edge as it's brightness tends to pull my eye away from the focus of the water.

I agree with TOny here. NIce elements arranged very well.

Preston,
Wonderful image with the clashing of the granite rocks and the softness of the water. I think I would have liked a bit more of the water. But in your last post you were limited. Was this also the case?
