Stones Throw to a Fantail

[Octane]

I made this photograph late one overcast afternoon.

This photo was taken along the Haast Pass, at a location known as Fantail Falls.

Double-processed RAW for foreground and background elements.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
1s f/22.0 at 17.0mm iso100

Slightly larger resolution available here (http://users.tpg.com.au/octane2/sttaf.html).

Comments and critique, etc., welcome.

Regards,
Humayun

Awesome!! Fantastic colours.
What's that red thing, on the rocks, to the left of the falls? It's not a hot pixel, just curious as to what it was. :)

Impressive!
17mm @ f22.... Hyperfocus... Love it.

Beautiful work, H. I love the aqua colours in the water.

What do you process your raws with?

How do you combine them after the double processing? Selectively, or with a HDR/tonemap tool?

:rofl: That's almost a gimme, isn't it? Water spray, mud, dust, nothing seems to stop him. I am very thankful that is the case though, you should see how excited I get everytime there is a new one posted... :D
