Frank,

Ah, yes, but, there are star trails in the sky. Another reason why presenting images for screen display sucks! Particularly if you don't wish to show large resolution images.

I used a 1-stop grad filter elastic banded to the lens (I don't own or use filter holding systems) to keep the sky from dominating the scene -- I wanted to maintain details in the clouds and to add some contrast. The intent was for the eye to dart about the spinifex-y shrubs, to the river, to the snow and to the clouds and back again. : )

Also, as for the ripple, that's just the way the water was flowing; there must have been some rocks or boulders or something which caused the epetaing pattern.

P.S. I hate focusing in the dark! Trial and error, grr!
