Have you ever had one of those experiences where there were no words to do it justice? Where you were failed not only by the English language, but by language itself?
Welcome to Stanley, ID.
A contemplative spot you've chosen. That rock put you in perfectly framed position. Somehow I expected a much more unruly doo, but your head's not so large after all.
But words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think and smile.
Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.
wow, that is insane. really good. 10/10.
But I don't think you got as much as you could have out of this.
I think the best picture you could get out of this would be some one jumping into the lake. BUt take it the very millisecond before their feet touch the water, before they even make a disturbance. So you have a person basically floating there in the ultimate moment while the entire reflection is still there. Of course i understand there is also the factor of temperature. sigh...
yea, i even had to wait a while for the ripples around the rock to go away from where I waded in (and yes it was freezing as it was still early morning)...

If my comment on your work ever seems to criticise, it does not. It is always so that we may learn together.
Haha!!! lol. Joke of the day. (That day I guess...) To speak only of the pants and legs in a fabulous shot of this stunning scenery! I hope mapbc knew how stupid that remark was. Well unintentional humour is also funny I guess. ^_^
You did a great job in setting it up and the help you got from your sister should be properly acknowledged.
I've always thought that a photo looks better without someone in it (unless it's someone I know). Did you happen to take another without standing on the rock?
OH MY GOSH..Ive been to Stanley!!!!!!!! That is a MOST lovely tiny place!!! I loved it!!! I was ina cabin right next to the Salmon River...I think thats what it was called... And THISphoto is unbelievable!! JUST LOVE IT!!!! I am speechless! truly! Those mountains OH MYYYY!!! BUt WHO took the photo? or did you set it to take it of yourself?? ITs phenominal!!!!
I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings:
And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not.
Yet so the universe was wrought .
Thought is another name for fate.
Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.
Ohhhh man this reminds me of backpacking in the Wallowa Mountains up in northeastern Oregon... where was this taken?? Actually, I don't recognize the mountain, but the entire sensation of such a massive creation of beauty being reflected in the cool waters of the snow-melt lake below is all too familiar to me. Great work! --Justine
