Rippled Fall Canal

Here's a look at fall colors reflected in the C&O canal and distorted by a modest breeze. This week's challenge has me channeling Donovan's song "...may as well try and catch the wind." (5D3, 70-200 f2.8 @ 140mm, 1/160, f/20, iso 6400, tripod & polarizer) Needed big dof and high shutter speed to get the ripples sharp from edge to edge.

P.S. I met Eric Stensland and his young son, last spring catching a RMNP sunset from Trail Ridge Road and as is often true for RMNP there was a steady wind that blew clouds in and hid most of the sunset. It was clearly a special time for Eric and his son acting as dad's helper.
