@Will: I have to tell you Will - the colors are real. People don't believe it until they see it with their own eyes! Thanks for you kind response.

love the darker and more dramatic tones that combined with the motion of the water create a great atmosphere!

I read your latest blog post, and it's great to be reminded that the creativity and vision of a final image really is about what the photographer wants to convey...There are unlimited choices these days and the click of the shutter is just the beginning. To me it needs to be the solid foundation that all the rest is built upon, so it's so necessary to "get it right"!

This spot in Big Sur happens to be my favorite- and I love the drama of the water (thanks to your choice of shutter speed!) and the solid timelessness of the rocks.

You'll have to see what I did to Yosemite today- I have finally slipped over the edge of all reason...

@Tracy: Thanks so much Tracy, I saw your image but did not have time to respond - it has been crazy lately! I love what you are doing.
