The warmth of the colour in the water is the strength of this image. It's such a different, unique sight alongside the lush greens of the lotus.
Also strong is the reflection of the trees as they make excellent leading lines joining the two plants.

I don't understand how this one got overlooked for so long...
I like the shadows produced by the trees and the overall atmosphere around this place.
One thing, I think the sharpness can be improved but maybe this is just due to the downsize process.
Very interesting shot.
Regards,

Very good. I'd just suggest you burn a tas in the highlights on the right. Great composition. As Bart said, it should also look great in B&W. Cheers.

Thanks Gabriel. After looking at it again, covering up the bottom portion of the image I'd have to agree. My next print of this will definitely be shorter on top and the bottom.

Mandy, I have another photo somewhat similar to this one on this site. There are other photos that I've taken, but the two I have posted are the only ones from the batch that I like enough to have posted here. I was only there for one sunrise while on the way to the Eastern Sierra so I didn't have enough time to shoot all that much. At some point I'll have to devote a few weekends to Red Rocks. About the DOF... It's one of the great benefits of using a view camera. Having movements is the best!

Sarah, I think at some point I'll convert it to B&W and print it with my quadtone inkset. The red channel alone seems to make all the rocks the same tonality. I'd probably tweak the channel mixer to get it to where I'd like it with some good midtones. Thanks for the ideas though.

B/W might be very interesting...or sepia.
Quite nice in color. Comp and DOF are right-on.

A thought about cropping the image... cropping the image along the lower edge, so the horizontal portion of the stream is the defining edge might make this exceptional image that much more powerful.
The redish tint could be one of two things... 1) high concentrations of iron(rust) or 2)algy. I would sooner believe algy though.

I can't really answer your question Andrew, but I like the image. The small streams of water really lead the eye, and the colours are indeed lovely.

OK, so I was off a little bit in my estimation. But not in the way the angle-of-view looked. Just a little bit wide but not extreme.
I really like the contrast between the soft dunes and the harder rocks. It almost seems weird to see them in the same shot.
Is there more room at the top in the original? It seems a little cramped up there in the sky.

The Ebony 23S is a 6x9 cm or roughly 2x3 inch view camera. 65mm in this format converts to about 28mm on a 35. I did crop to an 11x14 ratio (which was the size of the print I last made with this image).

So what format is this Ebony 23S? From the look of the image, I'd say 4X5, as it doesn't look like an extreme wide angle -- just a little -- and with at 65mm that should be about right, right?

Andrew, I didn't use any hyperfocal focusing techniques. A view camera allowed me to get the DOF that was required for a shot of this nature. First, a front axis tilt allowed me to get both the foreground and the rocks in the background in sharp focus. Then, I stopped down to probably f/22 or f/32 to fill in the out of focus areas. Without movements I suspect that I wouldn't have been able to hold focus in everything unless I was shooting on a 35mm with a really wide lens.

Andrew. Lovely composition and colour. Question for you. I know you had to use a small aperture for large DOF, but where did you focus, and did you use hyperfocal distance to calculate it? Thanks.

Thanks Sarah. I wasn't lying down, but just at the base of the slope. The foreground is actually on a 40-45 degree incline. Having the use of tilts helps keep everything in focus.

Andrew, I just went to your portfolio, and you really have a good eye. The foreground grooves really lead the eye to the rocks behind. You must have been lying down to take this!
