I just caught this on the opening page ... and had to say a few words.
Beautiful.
The setting seems to have only been surpassed by the photographer who saw it in their creative minds' eye and then brilliantly excuted a magnificent image. Composition is exceptionally professional. Clarity and detail ... superb.
Technically, no slights against this one for me. It is truly a beautiful image.
But ... but ... evocative? Yes ... yes, indeed.
Thank you for sharing this work of 'art.' :o)
p.s. The only ... only thing that I can think of ... is a slightly more offset focal point of the stream to abide by the 'rules.' Having said that ... I still think your perspective works wonders for this one. I do get the sense of a descent into the mystery and 'myst.' ;o)
