 I went to the same place as I did for last year's Steve Davidson shot , hoping that there would be more mist above the water - maybe that happens later in the day (I was there very early). Anyway, I took a couple of hundred shots around the place.

Dust spot healed out, sharpened, some light and dark areas made darker or lighter with the Soft Light/Gaussian Blur layer technique. Resized, sharpened again.

If you look carefully, you can see a arc made by a water droplet, springing from the greenery.

I am captivated by this photo, the way it dissolves into emptiness in such a graceful yet sudden way. 9

Nice. For my taste, I would have liked this to be a little darker over all to give more focus and details in the highlights. But I gave it a 7 anyway.
