This was taken on Sunday lookup up Alameda creek. This is where the wet hiking boots began. I liked the ripples over the stones and waded out for the shot. Then, I walked downstream along the opposite bank and could not find a way back that was shallow enough. This was an overcast day so this shot was warmed in processing and a fair amount of contrast added.

If you feel the shot feels tilted to the left, I thought so too. I rotated it twice and realized it is an optical illusion. It is rotated clockwise until I would have toppled the trees.
