Holy Jim Creek, a photo from California, West

Photographer's Note

I'm lazy, I felt like posting a picture. I'm on a new computer and I haven't installed any photo editing software on it so here's this without any special retouching. I welcome any workshops if you're so inclined.

Holy Jim trail can be taken to the top of Santiago Peak, the only major peak in Orange County. This picture was taken near the road to the trail head. Usually there isn't this much water, but we hiked the trail after some rain storms.

Fred,
This is a nice long exposure giving the stream nice volume and motion.
The lighting and colors are great with nice sharpness.
TFS,
Asa

Hi Fred:

Nice shot here. This looks more like Washington or British Columbia than Orange County! The exposure is great, and for not touching it up at all it's an excellent photo.
