From New Hampshire, Oct 05. This is one of my favorite shots from last fall's foliage season. I was taking a picture of a tree who just wasn't cooperating with me. I looked down and saw this composition of the colorful leaves in a calm part of the stream where the water wasn't flowing rapidly, and bubbles had formed from a small cascade a few feet away. It reminds me of an old Japanese woodcut for some reason...

It's a nice picture, Scott. But who would have expected otherwise from you? If you don't mind me asking, what did you do to the stream in post processing? It looks a bit desaturated. I like the effect, but just can't figure out how much of it is nature and how much of it is Scott.

awesome photo, im seeing these leaves and thinking their from an ash tree which is a distant relative of the olive tree

also
i enjoy your photos documenting of the water movement, many diffrent directions its flowing, though
its all in one direction, you know what im saying?
do i know what im saying?

I like this photo too... something you don't see everyday, glad you were able to capture it and share with us.

You are shooting with the Sony R1 now?

Anyway these are some fantastic photos of Zion and Bryce...

Thanks, Marlof. The only post-processing I did to this was to bump up the contrast just a bit (just personal preference - I thought it looked better that way). I'm not quite sure what you mean by the stream being desaturated. Its some dark water with a bunch of tiny white bubbles floating by (and the colored leaves, of course).

But in the end, its all Mother Nature, isn't it?

The water looked very B&W to me, esp. yesterday on my work screen. At home, on a color corrected monitor, I see what you mean. Ain't Mother Nature swell, offering that diversity of images, all for free?

Hi Dee,

Yep, I got me a fancy new R1 and I love it! I highly recommend it for us landscape shooters.

(Having said that, though, this photo was taken with a Canon 20D)
