Title: Sabrino Stream's Pattern of Stones
Sabrino Canyon, AZ. I recall working this composition with due diligence because of the sun on the clear stream water flowing slowing over these stones which seem to make a natural pattern for appreciating the beauty of it all. I tried various crops but ended up going back to this one.

The smaller stones are set of very nicely by the bedrock at the bottom. The are also some nice ripple patterns that have me trying to figure out what above and below the water here.

Mark, that bedrock drops just a bit with a boulder type of rock causing the back ripple in Rt lower corner.

I like these river stones a lot, Sandra, and the included bedrock adds some interest and balance to the whole scene. A nice variety of sizes and colors in here too. I have a similar shot, but the stones are all under water and so, more rounded.

Hi Sandra

I love colorful river stone compositions.like this..... the boulder against the stones gives us a good sense of scale..
