JUDGE'S
NOTE: Other than the incredible
palette of colors portrayed here, I was also impressed by
Cindy's composition: the deliberate intimate framing, fine-tuned
by the cropping of the frame to a more favorable aspect ratio,
the portion of the stream placed off-center and forming a subtle
diagonal flow through the scene. The looking-down perspective is
also interesting here, and the distance allows for an
interesting intimate view of a grand scene.
