I kept trying to get a nice water shot in full--the landscape kind that often elude me, so I shifted my perspective and went closer--it meant I would have to take a tripod to the middle of a creek, but I lucked out with this long exposure with the dramatic color in the foreground and a tad bit of it in the left background.
Instant fav, Daryl. This is stunning -- the contrast of the sharp clarity and color of the leaves, the soft long exposure flow of the water, and the deep deep tones throughout make this such a standout. One of my favorite shots ever.
