-Headwaters-Just a Slice

Guess it's obvious that I prefer my creeks and rivers in small slices. This is the Middle Fork of the Powder River near its headwaters. Hope it's acceptable for this challenge.

Looks like a stream to me, maybe I can find one before this challenge goes away. :smile: Lovely set of yellows rippling across the frame and the shadows at the top keep my eyes in the frame.

How beautiful! I love the rippling gold! I think a crop would help this shot - I'd remove the dark shadows at the top of the frame, the black spot on the lower left side, and the back debris at the bottom. Without those distracting elements, I think the ripples become even more striking. Nothing is pulling my eye away anymore.

The colors are just wonderful in this shot - and the repeating patterns are gorgeous too.
