    Made during a Tony Sweet workshop in the Smokies two years ago, mid-morning on an overcast day. The leaf was on the rock originally, but a previous photographer had turned it over; this side was definitely more photogenic.

    Canon 20D, Sigma 10-20 @ 14mm, polarizer, tripod
    ISO 100, 13 sec @ f/22, WB=shade
    ACR: tiny exposure tweak
    PSCS2: tweaks to contrast & saturation, sharpened

    All comments/critiques welcome!

    The only thing to say here is wonderful shot! (wait, there's more to say:) The lighting on the near rock with leaf is just enough highlight to pull us in to that subject, and there are great channels for the eye to go back and forth in this image.

    Lovely!

    I can only say that I appreciate your comments on my photography even more when I see the fine work you have done on this image. I am in love with it.

    This is just wonderful... Look at the FG-rock. It almost shaped like a heart and the leaf on it is just perfect...

    Cheers // Johannes

    I have to agree - this is really well done, Chris. You've got the water just at the spot of perfection and the leaf on the front rock...well, it rocks! Beautiful image all around.

    Hey Chris,
    I'll echo the coments above.......nicely done. There are 2 whitish spots at top of frame, large rock right........if so inclined......a small removal or burn would be the final touch.

    All: Thanks for the compliments!

    Roman: Good catch! When I inspect the full-resolution image more carefully at 100%, there are several other little too-hot spots as well, all easily burned. Thanks!
