Title: Fallen
Post by: MattBurt on October 12, 2016, 04:18:27 pm: We had some great colors for a couple of weeks but now most of the leaves are down at this altitude.
I like coming to this spot at a local park when the water is low like it is now. In early summer this is under raging rapids!

I think there is potential in the image so possibly looking at it again from scratch will mean there is the possibility of a better image?

I like this one a lot.

Nor me. Very nice water.

I gave it a try tonight. Still not completely distortion free but I think I tamed it somewhat.
