As it was getting dark, I became increasingly thankful for the tripod. It allowed me to shoot in very low light at ISO 100 and high f stops, capturing amazing detail with the L lens. I was aslo able to freeze the motion of the water. I though I would take a break from mountainous landscapes for a couple of days. But do not fear, they will return!

Love this. i like the dark water. i find the wall on the right slightly distracting, because its the only unnatural element in the photo.

Beautiful photo Ryan. You've captured the motion in the water very well. I espeically like the circular movement near the bottom right. And the floating leaves were perfectly in focus considering the 1s exposure. Very nice.

This is beautiful, Ryan. I took a Canon Powershot S80 to Sedona not too long ago - you can see the damage here: Sedona

I like it, especially the leaves in the lower right. The most color and the most detail in the entire photo and it's hidden off to the side! I would have loved to see those better integrated. Also the bubbles on the water look very blurred, which can be good or bad, I haven't decided. On one hand it captures their motion in contrast to the stationary rocks, but on the other, the blur is pretty well-defined and really muddies the water's surface. Also, I just noticed a bit of brick wall on the right. It's an extra bit of detail you could have included as well, but instead it's cut off.
But, as usual, on the whole, a beautiful photograph.

Beautiful. Nice perspective.

Very nice! I like the rich colors and the soft texture of the water.

Ah, yes. . .good old water.
Nice balance between the leaves and the water - love the patterns from the bubbles.
