a small waterfall among rock patterns in guanella pass, colorado

this is a very small bit of water - much smaller than it appears in the image - next to a much larger waterfall off the path a bit at guanella pass in colorado. i spent a good bit of time photographing the larger waterfall, but wasn’t able to capture an interesting image. that’s when i saw this smaller waterfall and the shapes. i got right up next to the waterfall, used my widest focal length, slowed down the shutter speed to my liking and composed it to get the shapes how i liked them. in processing, i wanted to show not only the shapes, but the contrast in textures - the smooth, silky water and the rough texture of the rocks.
