austria's tyrol WildeWasserWeg

Wilde Wasser Weg literally translates to wild water trail, and this

stretch along the Falbesoner Brook lived up to its name. While there

is really no trail, I followed the cascades for about 1/2 mile trying to

line up various compositional elements such as the peak, falls, and

lighting. This view best represented the dramatic landscape one

might encounter near the Neue Regensburger Hut in the Stubai Alps.

A small break in the clouds brillinatly lit these falls and nearby

grasses.

A gorgeous shot of this wild water Harry! Nicely composed with a touch of everything the Stubai has to offer.

All the best,
Neil

Very well done.  I think the slice of color accentuates the cold, barren surround... Mike

Wonderful! I love the way you have created a scene where the mountains in the back mirror the water in the foreground (of the other way around). Either way, it is a great composition!!!

I enjoy your high elevation photography.  The movement of the water contrasted with the permanence of the mountains adds yin and yang separated by the colorful green strip.  And, thanks for the translation.

A very appealing image. I like the little touch of blue on the left and the wisps of bright light.  I have taken a very close look at the large version and I am curious to know what aperture you used.  Happy New Year!

Tony - I took this at f16.  I made a couple of attempts using slightly different focal  points and chose the one with the best overall sharpness.  With the moving water, super sharpness was not as critical for me, but I did want the near rocks sharp.  I could always go back and blend in sharper rocks from one of my other attempts, but I saw no need.  The wide angle lens gives prety good DOF as is.

Thanks, Harry
