LOOKING DOWN

A late winter afternoon, looking down from the dam at Caesar Creek toward the spillway park below.

I intentionally went for the sun flare by setting the shot up more toward the lowering sun then shifting toward the valley and shooting. I wanted to add some color to the otherwise drab winter landscape.

  1. Sun flare is nice (best to enlarge to see it better). Like the ribbon of blue river.

  2. Looks like an interesting place, like the winding water.

  4. I love the way that the sun flares lead you down to the water, magic.

  5. That's a beautiful sky! I like how the curve of the river draws your eye further into the photo. It looks chilly, but then you have the rays peeking out, too.

  6. This is a striking photo; the framing really sets it off well, making it unique.

  7. Great colors with your sunflare, I would include it, too, since it has been rare around here lately. Pretty photo!
