Description

f/11, 1/125 sec, ISO 320, focal length 30 mm
Medano Creek, at the Great Sand Dunes National Park. From what I've heard there's not always water in this creek, just in the spring. It's water from the melting snow, and I got so fascinated by the pattern the water made in the sand next to the shore.

Exif: F Number: 11, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 8/1000 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 320, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 20.00 mm, Model: NIKON D80

Like you, I find it fascinating because of the organic patterns in the foreground. Looks like leaves--maybe Ginko.

Congratulation on all the well-deserved acclaim for this image, Eivor! Great image comp, colors, light, shadow and textures!! (years ago, I was at the dunes during the first week in Sept, and the water was only ankle-deep, at the most--and freezing cold; which felt really good, after walking in the very hot sand) #5997678
