Your colors are outstanding. Looks like you used a faster shutter speed on this shot. I think I like the slower shutter speed a little better but both are really good.
@thewatersphotos Thanks Gary...the light was a challenging... above the falls wanted to go stark white... the waterfall is in Paulding County on High Shoals Road - easy access to the bottom of the falls... above the falls is now fenced off, private property. Best to visit after some heavy rain.
@dutchothotmailcom thanks Esther... the leaf color added a lot to this I think.
@cwbill thanks Bill... I prefer the silky water too but I chose the faster shutter speed because the wind was blowing the leaves and I wanted them sharp.
@jyokota thanks Junco... I love it when a photo makes me feel like I could be walking in the scene... it is sort of surreal experience. No... to be honest I have not kept up much with any of the book awards since I retired.
@kvphoto It was so straightforward of an announcement, nothing like the thrill of being "in the room" at Midwinter. It felt cold and distant coming through my computer and sitting at home alone instead of clapping and cheering with hundreds of friends after having made a phone call to our winner. I chaired Legacy Award this year (formerly the Wilder) and our winner was Mildred Taylor. We read many, many fabulous authors' entire body of work this past year, and even the entire Logan family saga in the chronological order in which the stories take place (rather than in order of publication which is how most of us read them).Talking to her on the phone was one of the memories I will always cherish. She said she appreciated how this award came on the heels of publishing her very last book about the Logans and that her work was finished.
