Flash of Red 2024-1

Here we go! Year number 13 for Flash of Red. I got off to a late start today and ended up altering my plans which meant I finished up the food shopping late in the afternoon. At first I thought I'd just dip into the archives for a landscape shot, but what example would that be?! So I set off for Resica Falls, which is sort of on my way home and I was glad I did. Due to all the recent snow, rain and warmer temps the Falls were full and thunderous which made for a great black and white shot. I did do some work on the sky. It was overcast today and due to the 5:00 hour, dusk was erasing some of their outline. I added some texture to the first black and white shot and then used it as an overlay on another black and white conversion of the same shot. I really like the result.
Nicely done; what a great scene

Thank you for your sacrifice of hunting this one down. It’s a fabulous landscape and would be great even without the sky.

Very nice. It’s difficult to get good waterfall pics, and this one stands out!

@joansmor Yes, you have. I think it was the first stop on our waterfall drive.

Thank you so much for all your views, comments and favs! These falls are fairly well-known in these parts but never over-run with people, so it's easy to grab a shot of them.

@randystreat There were some massive trees stuck in them this time. I wonder how long it will take for the water to wash them away.
