Cataract Creek

[Kyle Jones]

I captured this on a rainy afternoon near Mount Tamalpais in Marin County. I liked the flow of water over the rocks in the foreground and got low to emphasize it.

Any thoughts are welcome.

The vantage point worked out pretty well in this case. Nice greens surrounding the creek.

I have tried this point of view on a few occasions with mixed results.

Very nice indeed Kyle! I really like that misty/foggy feel of this, and that's a nice flow of water.

Excellent, the foreground creek bed is beautiful. All lines lead to the center.

You have a great composition here with beautiful greens. What would this look like at higher water levels?

Congrats on the Daily Featured Post Kyle!

I like how the softness of the rain & water in the back & foreground and diffuse light in the background work with the sharpness of the moss & rocks.

Thank you all for commenting!

Thanks a lot Ben - I'm not sure how much more water comes through here. I'd love to see it with more myself.

Thanks a lot Jim, that's a nice surprise!

Exactly what I was going for! Thank you.

Excellent, Kyle.

Hi Kyle,

The way you handled the misty highlights at the top is very well done. There might be a little too much glow coming off of the distant falls leading down from the top.

Thanks, you may be right. I'll take a look.

Nice. Maybe you could try a pano crop, cutting off parts of the top and bottom? Just a bit.
