Default Dark Water

On a recent trip to the wilds we stopped at a very scenic waterfal. From our vantage point above we could look down on the falls from the top and I really enjoyed the contrast of the water and the reflections of the midday sun and took this picture. The waterfal itself is just to the right and out of the frame and I focused on the rock that was sticking out just above the waterline for this photo.

An interesting picture, it doesn't even look like water.

That's a great capture. And the black and white gives it an awesome effect. Fabulous. On an unrelated note Juice, I hope you don't mind me saying that you have lovely eyes!

Default Great Texture.

The texture in the water is a wonderful affect, seems to really stand out in black and white.

The amazing thing is that the picture is actually still in its original full colour. The high contrast is what made it so appealing in the first place. It looks black and white, yet it's not

Wow, the contrast between the light and water sure created a nice texture. I really like this one. Great shot juice!

Thank you, Fred. You'll be happy to know that the waters in this area are quite famous for the flyfishing too
