On this first day of Spring, I was looking for an equinox image for our pals at National Geographic. And somehow I ended back at my new favourite Salt Spring Island mountain stream. In the rain this time.
I had expected there to be more flow in the stream, after seeing the torrent nine days ago. And I didn’t expect to see any of the iridescent green moss left either. I like the new cleaned-up, wet look and I think this it the best image yet. It seems more alive and vibrant.
Sometimes you need to work at a photograph until you get it right. Now I’m wondering what it might look like in moonlight or after a decent snow…
Any thoughts?
Hi John.
This is funny. When I looked at your image, I thought surely you Photo-Shopped out the debris in this river. And you say it was wiped “clean” naturally. WOW! Great image.
Thanks Tamar. Yes,while wiping out some moss, the runoff moved things as large as a log. It’s never ‘perfect’ of course and the original, 8000+ pixels across still reveals some minor bits. But they’re not seen at web size.
Spectacular !
Thanks!
