This rock formation has been modified by water for some time, I would guess.  I liked this because at the time water was running over it.

The dark streaks from the water a a fine addition here, John.  You've also got nice warm colors in the rocks and they're set off well by the greens in the foliage.  I don't know if it was possible, but moving a couple of steps left might have let you avoid all of the sticks in the lrc, which would be a nice improvement.

John,

I also like the idea of having the waterflowing on the rocks. I may have pointed the camera a bit more to the left to get the one stick at the foreground right corner away. Other then that minor thing nciely seen.

Very cool, John.  I love the flowing lines and the flowing water in this one.

This looks like sandstone John.  Very similar to some of the shutters in th Grand Canyon.  Where was this?  A very good entry in the challenge.  Thanks for sharing.

John, Wonderful color and patterns in this. Probably over 1000's of years creating this I would guess.
