Love the reflection! It's if two arms embrace a piece of the water.

You may already be aware of this, but similar rocks can be found just upstream of Foxton, on the north fork of the south Platte. My family has a place near there. If you live in the Denver area, it would be closer than 11 Mile Canyon.

Excellent, I was hoping you'd been able to explore upstream a bit from where the previous shot was taken. FWIW, this has just the right amount of watery "blur" for my tastes. Otherwise, I realize that hosting platforms create different levels of "sharpness" for photos here, but I'm thinking that you might take a loupe to your negatives to make sure they're as razor-focused as you need them to be--you're yomping through some challenging conditions out there, so it might be possible that you need to up-armor your tripod/head or even evaluate how your camera handles what the Front Range throws at it.

I am so glad you suggested Foxton. I had no idea. Yes, I am in Denver area and now I have to plan to go explore the Foxton area. If you have any specific areas to suggest, I am all ears. Thank you!

Thank you ! I am still learning how to gauge the exposure time to allow for the right amount of blurriness in water. It sure is tricky to make it tasteful.

As for the sharpness, I agree that I might not have the most rock-solid setup with my 8x10 camera. Plus it was late in the evening and I was rushing. A lot to manage and learn.

I appreciate all the thoughtful advice.
