Soft

I had to go back and take another shot of this little waterfall while the yellow Aspen leaves were still reflecting off the water. I usually don’t like taking photos of waterfalls unless it’s an overcast day but this time a sunny day worked in my favor. This little waterfall is in a hard to get to area of Cheyenne Canyon, which is near the famous Seven Falls, and Helen Hunt Falls in Colorado Springs. Canon XTi f/22 18mm(18-55mm) 13 secs.

    I love what your Mom has said …...”the lavender spilling into the gold spilling into the lavender is great”.

    Thats is amazing…... the way you have created an energy aura that reverberates with the neatural terrain as well the mercury gold surface of the water surface that shimmers with exposure. Ha Ha ... I could go on…....

    This is good work

    Well done
