Howdy Ray,

Hee, hee, as soon as I read your title, I thought of "Steamboat Willie", the Disney cartoon film which first featured Mickey Mouse!

But this is a much more serious image - and an excellent one too. I presume that this was taken from a scanned photograph or colour transparency as I think the Pentax K1000 was a 35mm film camera. So, considering all that, this is a photograph of amazingly good quality.

I love the softness of the water caused by a longish exposure time and the colours, especially in the rocks on the right side, are divine. Perfect exposure and excellent details and sharpness.

Beautiful!

Kind Regards,

John.

Hi Ray,
I totally agree with John, that section of shining mossy rocks under perfect lightin the right of the shot is superb. Combined with the silk effect of the water it makes a really pleasant and warm but earthy picture. Really nicely done.
Cheers
Noel
