The one essential requirement for life (at least carbon based, life as we understand it) and yet the human species continues to take it for granted. South Zapata Creek, Colorado.

I like the texture in the water, John, so good job on the ss. As for the comp, I like the sweeping bend in the creek. I'm not sold on the stump anchoring the LLC as it blocks the view of the water, but I like the overall comp.

I like how you've got the stream arcing through the frame. The stump, bottom left, makes a good visual anchor. I was going to complain about the contrast in the water, but the larger version does a much better job of showing off the details in the water, making that complaint moot.
