Fantastic! #6526132Matthew M. Sciortino September 29, 2008
roberta and lisa, thank you for you comments. it was a really sunny day so I decided to do some "detail" shooting instead of "the big picture" (which I normally do)... I guess it worked out... again, thank you. #6530133Sue C. Cole October 01, 2008
Very nice Matthew, I really like the sharpness of the rock and the power of the water you captured very well. Job well done.:) #6540968Matthew M. Sciortino October 02, 2008
thank you sue, I appreciate it. #6542959Aggie Villanueva October 02, 2008
excellent veiling. did you use any filters like NDs? I like that there are no blown out areas #6544794Matthew M. Sciortino October 02, 2008
Aggie, the only filter I used was my polarizer. This Rock was in the shaded part of the creek, so I concentrated on it rather than the whole creek (which was a pretty powerful waterfall) because of the intensity of the sun. #6544894Aggie Villanueva October 02, 2008
Well thought out. Well taken. Love those polarizers! #6545325Matthew M. Sciortino October 03, 2008
HAHA! Thanks Deborah. #6547356Melissa Wynn October 04, 2008
Gorgeous Image! Details of the textures of the rock while still getting the silky feel to the water. Impressive. #6553824Irene Colling October 05, 2008
