Cathedral Rock

[Bob]

Hey Everyone,
Here is a shot from the other day of Classic Cathedral pools above Crescent Moon ranch. This looks like one on the big pools but it is actually a very tiny puddle that doesn't usually have water for the reflection.

Had you not said puddle I would not have guessed.
beautiful image

Nice point of view for the shot. The size of the prickly pear is the giveaway for scale with the puddle. Nice work with the depth of field. Single shot or focus stack?

Alan,
Thank you, it was focus stack. The cactus was to close to do anything else. This puddle was only no more than 20 inches across.

Excellent execution for this image, Bob.

Nice, Bob. A bit more headroom perhaps.

Wow Bob! Love the way you worked the reflection! I would never have guessed that this was a small puddle. It looks like a large puddle. You have some great side light in this, you scored all around.

Hey Jeffrey, I agree but unfortunately I had my camera on the ground. No tripod with a 24mm lens that was all I could get. I wanted the pool of water to look big.
