Photographed on one dark rainy Saturday morning while in Quebec. The dim light made the conditions perfect to capture the small cascades as they flowed over the rocks of a small stream just off the road. I loved how the flat light brought out the deep reds of the sumac too. Only problem was that I couldn't get down far enough to move the twigs out of the way and it was rather windy so the maple leaf at the top kind of flapped in the wind.

Canon D60, EF 70-200mm f4.0L, ISO 100, EV -1.5, f32, 3 sec exposure.

Beautifful saturation and exposure. I personally like dark, rich colors. The dash of red is also nice. Some of the foreground twigs are IMO a bit of a distraction.

I have to agree with Harvey on all counts. This is a very nice, rich image.

Yup, wonderful except for the junk/twigs in the FG.

Agree with the others on the twigs. I'm not always a big fan of shots like this but the great colors here really make this nice!!!

Wow. The colors and comp are gorgeous. I could live without the twigs but I still really like this shot. I especially like the frothy water.

It's a beaufiful scene with a wonderful range of colors. I like the comp, but I must admit to a burning desire to push the foreground growth out of the way.

Lots to look at here. I love the water and the yellow leaf in the top left. Some of the "junk" in the bottom is a little distracting. I do however like the red sumac(?) on the right. I think shooting the sumac leaves against the waterfall would be an interesting comp. Just a suggestion, overall I think it's pretty good.

If colors had calories this would be a huge banana split

Nice, rich colors to die for! I can live with the FG twigs as I think there are so many potential uses for a photo and this is a fresh look at a small scene. It's really pretty as are other of your photos that I can remember.

Thanks to everyone for their comments. I really got a smile from the comment "If colors had calories this would be a huge banana split". I tried to move the twigs, but they were way out of reach. I even tried using by tripod (without the camera attached of course) to push them back, but had no luck. Perhaps next time, I will find a stream like this without them.
