About the Image(s)

Mountain stream in the wilds of Yosemite National Park. Unexpectedly, we captured the god of the waters hiding in the flow. Can you find him?

Once everyone has had a shot at creature-seeking, I will be back to identify him in case anyone missed him.   Posted: 11/06/2019 15:43:32

Yes I think I see him. Two eyes, a nose and a mouth in the middle of the image between the two cascades of water. Good image with plenty of action and well used tree in bottom right to take you up into the waters. The force of the water is apparent in this shot.   Posted: 11/07/2019 08:01:48

There are two creatures! The one that Peter describes, and another almost identical one to the right and a little lower. The branch on the right goes through its mouth. I like the feeling of water flow you get. To me, it looks like the brightness could be increased a little to make the splashing water whiter.

Dick, I found "Waldo" right away and also see Sheldon's creature in the rocks. You handled the flowing water well - all too often there are areas that are blown out. The environment surrounding the falls is very supportive of your image. I think the crop here might be a tad too tight - more of the area around the falls might allow them to flow a little more freely - if you have a wider view.   Posted: 11/11/2019 10:47:46



 
OK. Most of you have found the spirit. Here it is.   Posted: 11/12/2019 00:37:10

I found the spirits, but more importantly, you did an excellent job of composing and showing the beauty of the "smoothed" water.   Posted: 11/13/2019 15:31:03

I spotted the spirit in the wonderful silky water. I like the composition and sharpness of the static land.   Posted: 11/14/2019 03:58:16
