Taking a dip
by Morris McClung
Found this plant, not sure of the i.d., last fall along this mountain stream in Rocky Mountain National Park. Of course I loved the colors. The light reflected on the wet rock is too blue, but I just liked the way it complimented the yellows. Too much?
5d, 28-135mm, tripod, remote shutter release, polarizer,
Comments and critiques always welcome, and thank you for looking,

Can't help with the ID.

You're asking the wrong person, in my case, if it's too much. (smile) I like the intense complementary colors very much. Also the red berries. Beautiful image. Ok, one minor gnat in my eye - I might clone out the edge cluster of leaves in the viewer's upper right corner in order to better emphasize the overall shape of the leaves in the rest of the image. I don't really have a reason for it. Just seems cleaner to me. It's a nothing comment though.
I know what it is. They lead my eye out of the frame.
