Infinite Possibilities II by MikeBonsall

Please view Large.

Taken at the same time as yesterday's upload.

I wanted enough water to surround and help isolate this main rock, whilst still keeping the submerged pebbles visible beneath the water, so took a number of shots. Most had either too little or too much water. This one was just about right. The way the white foam frames the edges of the rock was an added bonus!

Have a good weekend folks!

It certainly has worked Mike. Classical image of this genre. Warm tones, restful, one for the wall. Ron.

Absolutely stunning. Love the lighting especially in the foreground. It brings out the colours of the rocks.

Excellent work Mike. I was doing something similar to this recently and to get the water just right certainly does mean snapping off several frames.
