Jen, you've surpassed yourself here I reckon. I love this one. A truly beautiful scene. Amazing colours - those greens are excellent. And I can almost hear the water. A fantastic shot, theme or no theme. Well done.

Til the well is dry - just learning that hard lesson now in Oz with our worst drought in 100 years. Love this image - its vibrancy jumps off the screen.

Actually I've thought about getting this one enlarged so I could mat and frame it.
@craiger: Beautiful sound isn't it? ; )
Daroru from Amagasaki, Japan
I like the hints of colour saturation giving it that slightly surreal feel.

Duncan Galbraith from Kyoto, Japan
A great take Jen. Love the perspective, as if we're standing in the stream itself, and those colours are wonderfully rich and lush.
1 May 2007 2:37pm
@Duncan Galbraith: I was actually on a small log bridge over the creek, I twisted my gorillapod around the small hand rail, squatted down and started to shoot...anyway pretty darn close to being in the stream. I would have been in the creek, but I forgot my waders : (
Thanks so much for the nice comment and the visit.
Jennifer from Statesville, United States
This is beautiful! Why was I not informed of the theme!?
1 May 2007 2:58pm
@Jennifer: I'm sorry sweetie, you were on your "break from Am3" when the whispers went out. : (
Do it tomorrow and the next day and just let Damon know so he can add you to the list on his blog.

Erik Tjallinks from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands
Jen, this is really a fairytale on itself! One of the pictures I would like on my wall, I'm also considering specialising on nature and landscape because there's so much to photograph, and this is what appeals to me most.
1 May 2007 4:21pm
@Erik Tjallinks: I've really fallen in love with nature photography lately! The images are boundless!!!
I am going to get this enlarged so I can mat and frame it.
Thank you so much Erik!!
Laurie from Lincoln, United States

Rahul from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
This is absolutely gorgeous and fantastic touch up work Jen - a definite "oooo", i guess i got to run out and look for more water. For now i can only see the water in the glass in front of me hehehe....
The rain also has stopped here since last 2 days hahaha... and we are to post on water.
Now is the time when i really wish - How nice if life could be a bit more simple. ;-)
